THERAPY FOR

Personality Issues

It’s possible to feel more steady, more seen, and more at home in yourself.

Personality struggles often run deeper than just “being too emotional” or “having intense relationships.” For many, these patterns are rooted in early experiences where safety, stability, and emotional connection were disrupted. When your core needs weren’t consistently met—especially in childhood—it can shape the way you see yourself, others, and the world. You might feel emotions more intensely, fear abandonment deeply, or find yourself swinging between closeness and withdrawal in relationships. These aren't personal flaws; they're adaptations to overwhelming or inconsistent environments.

​

Complex trauma and early attachment wounds can leave lasting imprints on how we relate, react, and cope. When your nervous system learns to stay on high alert, or you’ve never known what it feels like to be emotionally safe, it's no wonder that relationships, self-worth, and emotions feel hard to manage. Therapy can help untangle these patterns with compassion, not judgment—creating space for healing, clarity, and more stable, connected ways of being in the world.

Personality Issues can look like:

feeling overwhelmed by emotions that seem to come out of nowhere

going from feeling very close to someone to feeling distant or even angry

panicking or shutting down when someone pulls away or sets boundaries

frequently doubting whether people really care about you

becoming quickly attached to new people, then feeling disappointed or hurt

being highly sensitive to tone, facial expressions, or changes in communication

feeling like a different version of yourself depending on who you're with

feeling empty or “not real” when you’re alone or disconnected from others

saying or doing things impulsively, then feeling regret or shame afterward

harsh inner self-talk or a deep sense that something is wrong with you

With support, what once felt overwhelming can start to feel manageable.
