How Can I Help Your Relationship With Yourself and Others?
I’m worried about being a “failure.”
We learn new skills by having them modeled for us or taking a class to learn. If you’ve had neither, how could you expect to know what to do? This is a courageous new step in seeking help, not in “failing” something you’ve never learned.

I’m not sure if I’m ready for 1:1 relationship coaching.
I have a host of books, Relationship Rehab Show episodes, and courses to help you find the solutions you’re looking for, whether you desire to grow in your own skills, bond with a partner or heal family or stepfamily dynamics.
