Dating & Relationship Patterns in Chandler AZ
Partners in Resiliency Helps With Breaking Free of Toxic Relationship Patterns
Dating & Relationship Therapy Is for You If You’re…
- Repeating the same painful relationship cycles with different partners
- Attracted to emotionally unavailable, critical, or chaotic partners
- Feeling confused, hurt, or exhausted by your own dating history
- Struggling with anxious or avoidant attachment dynamics

Dating & Relationship Therapy Helps You Break Free from Old Patterns
Many people unconsciously repeat emotional dynamics in romantic relationships—drawn to familiar yet painful roles and patterns. These often stem from early attachment wounds, unprocessed trauma, or internalized beliefs about love, worthiness, and trust.
At Partners in Resiliency in Chandler, Arizona, therapy rooted in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), and psychodynamic approaches helps you recognize and interrupt these relational cycles. Whether you’re anxious and always chasing love, avoidant and pulling away, or caught in explosive “push-pull” relationships, there is a path to secure, fulfilling love.
This work isn’t just about changing who you date—it’s about transforming how you relate to yourself, your emotions, and your core needs in relationships. Together, we help you build the emotional awareness, boundaries, and relational intelligence to create intimacy that feels safe, empowering, and sustainable.
Signs You May Be Caught in a Relationship Pattern
- Repetitive Conflict: Same arguments or emotional themes in every relationship
- Similar Partners: Attracted to the same difficult traits—emotionally unavailable, controlling, distant, or unpredictable
- Unresolved Baggage: Carrying trust issues, fear of vulnerability, or guardedness from past relationships
- Emotional Reactivity: Minor disagreements escalate quickly, or you shut down instead of staying engaged
- Insecurity & Avoidance: Feeling too dependent or too detached
- Difficulty Feeling Loved: Partners may care—but you still feel unseen, unloved, or unsafe
What Therapy for Relationship Patterns Can Help With
- Identity & Relational Clarity
Explore who you are within a relationship—not who you become because of one. Clarify your values, needs, and sense of self so you can show up authentically and stay grounded in connection. - Interrupting Toxic Cycles
Identify the repetitive dynamics that leave you chasing, avoiding, over-functioning, or shutting down. Learn to respond instead of react, and break free from emotionally exhausting patterns. - Healing Relational Wounds
Work through past betrayals, disappointments, and unprocessed grief that quietly shape how you show up in love today. Therapy helps you move forward without dragging the past with you. - Boundaries & Self-Respect
Learn how to set boundaries without guilt, say what you mean without overexplaining, and prioritize peace over people-pleasing—without losing connection. - Creating Emotionally Mature Relationships
Build relationships rooted in mutual respect, emotional honesty, and adult-level intimacy. This isn’t about being perfect—it’s about being real, open, and accountable.
