Building healthy relationships: when they always end the same way

Friendships or relationships keep ending the same way, or never start? How to spot the pattern, questions to reflect on and where coaching helps.

Love and relationships

Friendships or relationships keep ending in similar ways, or never get started. You wonder what you could do differently.

How it can show up

Friendships or relationships keep ending in similar ways.
You pull back as soon as things get close, or you cling tightly.
You avoid conflicts until they suddenly become big.
You are not sure how much of yourself you can show others.

Questions for you

There are no right answers. Take the question that stays with you.

What do your past relationships have in common?
How do you react when the first conflict comes?
What do you need from others, and do you tell them?
Which relationship in your life would you like to nurture next?

Where coaching can help

Coaching can help with communication, boundaries and recognising your own patterns in relationships, looking at concrete situations.

When other help fits better

If the patterns run deep, are very painful or are linked to earlier hurts, working with a psychotherapist makes sense.

If it is too much right now

Coaching is not psychotherapy and not a crisis service. If you are in danger or thinking about harming yourself, contact the emergency services where you are right away, or a crisis service near you.
