As a therapist providing marriage counseling in California, I work with couples to create a secure bond and connection with each other. However, sometimes the challenge is being open to beginning a relationship. Past hurts and underlying fears can create blocks to dating and allowing a new partner to enter your life. This often leads to self-doubt and fear that you will be single forever. In this article I discuss the saboteur that may be lurking under the surface, trying to protect you from getting hurt but also preventing the connection you desire. Individual Relationship Therapy might be a step in the right direction.
