Does it seem that everyone else seems to get their needs met, or gets what they want, and you don’t? Do you sometimes feel frustrated, and resentful in relationships, and you’re not sure why?

Have you ever wondered how to resolve relationship problems without breaking up? You might have tried talking but feel as if it creates more conflict and wonder if it’s really worth it. I’m a psychotherapist and I’ve got four steps you can try to help open up conversations and find resolutions, rather than ramp up the conflict.
