The Pain of Impossible Love

As a couple/relationship therapist I work with people who find themselves at a complete loss regarding how to deal with some of the very raw emotional issues that come from being in a 'love relationship'. They may be unable to find a way to reach each other, listen to one another, or have lost the original, emotional connection that once flamed their attraction to one another.

 

This is the miracle that happens
Every time to those who really love;
The more they give,
the more they possess.”
Rainer Maria Rilke

Eros

Often people are living ‘alone together’ experiencing a range of feelings from; depression, anxiety, sadness, anger, grief, panic, shame, betrayal, jealousy, loss and separation. What pivotally lies at the bedrock of this 'unease’ and ‘chaos' is fear...fear of being alone, fear of rejection, fear of abandonment and, here lies the root of the deepest fear, fear of not being loved, understood or accepted.

My work involves listening to how people talk about their experience of attachment,
separation and loss. I explore secure and insecure patterns of relating whereby
the fear of abandonment and rejection is worked through and enables the harnessing of a secure base within oneself where the person finds autonomy, independence and begins to care for their own soul. This allows us to move away from ‘living together alone’ to ‘living together apart’, leaving one free to love and live without fear and insecurity.

 

"The demand to be safe in a relationship inevitably breeds sorrow and fear.
This seeking for security
is inviting insecurity"

'On Love' by Krishnamurti
