There are plenty of people besides adoptees who struggle with feeling unwanted and unlovable. I know what it's like, adopted or not. An underlying belief of not being good enough feels the same, regardless of its origins. And that belief impacts us in all our relationships, especially our most intimate. See if this sounds like you:

At the beginning of relationships, you repeatedly have felt ...

• Excited
  
• Hopeful/Optimistic
  

• Heartbroken
• Sad
• Disappointed
• Frustrated
• Angry
• Betrayed
• Discouraged
• Exhausted

Swinging from one end to the other takes a lot out of you and can make you want to give up. You're not alone. I can help you with the challenges you experience in relationships and get to a point where you feel more at peace. Connecting with others will become easier and more satisfying—and less stressful and tiring. It takes willingness and a good guide. You bring the former; I'll provide the latter.
