Why We Protect Ourselves From the Connection We Long For

Why We Protect Ourselves From the Connection We Long For

by Maggi W., Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) | Jun 30, 2026 | Relationships & Connection, Self & Healing

Your phone buzzes in the middle of the workday. You are between tasks, half-looking at your inbox, half-thinking about the next thing you need to do. There is a meeting in ten minutes. A half-finished drink beside your keyboard. A list somewhere, maybe written down,...

When Closeness Starts to Feel Like Pressure

by Maggi W., Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) | Jun 16, 2026 | Intimacy & Desire, Relationships & Connection

The Dance of Disconnection

The Dance of Disconnection

by Maggi W., Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) | Nov 3, 2025 | Intimacy & Desire, Relationships & Connection

Late evening light filters through the kitchen window. One partner stands by the sink, rinsing dishes in silence, while the other lingers by the doorway, arms at their sides and fingers playing with the hem of their shirt. The sound of running water fills the space...
