Orlando Therapist: Friendships During a Pandemic

We’ve all been dealing with the pandemic for the past two years and today, we’re dealing with the changes that have come with a global pandemic and learning how to best adapt.

Some people have gone through drastic changes where they’ve lost their jobs, moved to a different state, or grieved a loved one. While others learned a new hobby, started working from home, or discovered how enjoyable it is to spend more time outdoors.

Even though you’re in a healthy relationship, do you sometimes feel like the two of you are in a rut? Does it feel like things are sorta stagnant or like you’re talking about the same things over and over again, kids, work, house stuff.

Does it feel like the depth is missing and you find yourself longing for a little bit more of your partner?

It may be time to take a moment to reflect, taking the time to shift your focus on what's important when you start to feel this overwhelming sensation that your relationship is not where you want it to be. I hope this grounds you and reminds you of where you need to focus your energy to nourish your relationship whether you’re dating, looking at your friendships, or married.

At Mindful Living Counseling Orlando, we help people heal from and stop the cycle of unhealthy and toxic relationships. All of our therapists specialize in helping people move out of unhealthy relationships patterns so that you can enjoy meaningful and satisfying relationships.

Do you ever feel like you and your partner aren’t on the same page when it comes to showing your love for each other? Do you often feel like you don’t understand why your partner can’t understand how your hugs at the end of the day show them how much you love them? Or perhaps, your initiative to pick up the kids from school shows them how much you love them?

Feeling overwhelmed in your relationship? You want closeness and connection, but there seems to be some invisible forcefield preventing you from experiencing the closeness that you so deeply crave? Do you often wonder, “Is it me or my partner?” Or in moments of desperation, do you want to throw in the towel completely, thinking, “Maybe I’m just not meant to be in a relationship!?”

Have you ever felt stuck and limited by an ever so sneaky little voice that tells you things like, “You don’t have what it takes to succeed.” “You’re not worthy of true love.” or “You don’t belong here?” If so, welcome to being human. The ugly truth is, we all have Limiting Beliefs. They hurt. They get in the way of relationships. They are the root of our emotional triggers. And they hold us back from reaching for our dreams.
