It’s often said that one of the best feelings in life is to love and to be loved. However, for some people, this feeling is marred by emotional baggage from past relationships.
Do you feel yourself withdrawing and becoming emotionally distant from your current partner? It’s important to break free from unhealthy relationship patterns and the influence of toxic relationships. Otherwise, it can jeopardise your current and future relationships.
Are you looking for the courage to break free from a toxic relationship? Hypnotherapy for relationship issues might be the solution you need.
I’m Susannah Saunders, a hypnotherapist who can help you unlearn unhealthy relationship patterns through my solution focused approach. I will teach you coping mechanisms and use visualisation techniques to enable you to be more in control of your emotions.
Unhealthy Relationship Patterns That Can Affect Your Love Life
To heal past trauma and effectively deal with emotional baggage, you must first understand what unhealthy relationship patterns look like. Let’s look at some common characteristics of a toxic relationship:
- Controlling Behaviour: Your partner makes all the decisions – not just regarding your relationship but also regarding your life. They may manipulate and coerce you into agreeing with things.
- Communication Problems: Communication issues are among the biggest red flags in relationships. A simple conversation can turn into an argument, and you might avoid discussing difficult issues, as they get defensive, and become hostile.
- Abuse (Gaslighting, Verbal, Physical): Abuse can take many different forms. While physical violence is more easily seen, mental and emotional abuse can equally harm your well-being and future relationships.
How Does Emotional Baggage Impact Relationships?
For someone who has been in a toxic relationship, it can be difficult to open yourself to falling in love again. Even when you do, the shadow of the emotional baggage from past relationships always hangs over you. This impacts your new relationship, your mental well-being and your partner.
Here are some signs that your previous unhealthy relationship patterns are impacting your current love life:
You might constantly bicker with your partner over the smallest issues. This might happen because you keep comparing them to your past partner and the negative emotions associated with them.
Someone who carries emotional baggage from past relationships often finds it difficult to commit to a new relationship. You’ll appear hesitant, whether it’s acknowledging your feelings, agreeing to move in together, or even getting married.
Negative thoughts constantly play on your mind, and you end up overthinking your decisions and your partner’s actions. This won’t allow you to be present and enjoy the small, tender moments. Your past relationships can rob you of your present and future happiness and prevent you from finding love again.
If you’re wondering how to break unhealthy relationship patterns and enjoy your love life again, perhaps you’d like to try hypnotherapy for relationship issues.
Can Hypnotherapy Help Build Successful Relationships?
Hypnotherapy can be beneficial in breaking unhealthy relationship patterns and building stronger relationships, trust and improved communication.
If you’re someone who is struggling with the emotional baggage of past relationships, then hypnotherapy can offer you a long-term solution. Here’s how hypnotherapy for relationship issues can help:
Better Communication
Communication is fundamental to nurturing a happy, healthy relationship. During hypnotherapy sessions, we’ll address the negative emotions preventing you from communicating effectively. Under hypnosis, I’ll introduce positive cues and visualisation techniques to help you overcome the fear, stress and lack of self-confidence that you experience.
Breaking Old Patterns
During hypnotherapy for relationship issues, I’ll assist you in overcoming the trauma due to past unhealthy relationship patterns. This can help you break the cycle and help falling in love again. By learning better ways to cope with negative emotions, heal from PTSD and regain your confidence, you can be more present in your relationship.
Overcome Sadness and Depression
A bad relationship makes you feel sad and depressed a lot of the time. This affects your mental, emotional and physical health. People in abusive relationships often suffer from health issues such as IBS and are more prone to addiction like drinking, smoking or substance abuse. During hypnosis, I’ll help you unlock the negative emotions and triggers stopping you from leading a healthy and happy life.
Improving Sexual Health
Physical intimacy is an important part of building a successful relationship. However, if you’ve been in an abusive relationship, you might find it difficult to be physically vulnerable with your partner and experience things like erectile dysfunction, low libido or painful sex. Hypnotherapy for couples can effectively address these issues.
