Navigating a relationship that feels confusing or costly to your sense of self

Especially when there is a felt split between loyalty to others and an inner knowing that something is not aligned. Many people who value harmony, care, and responsibility find themselves torn between different inner positions — one that maintains connection, and another that carries truth, instinct, or refusal.

Experiencing symptoms of depression

Including persistent sadness, loss of interest, fatigue, changes in sleep or appetite, difficulty concentrating, irritability, or feelings of worthlessness or guilt. From a depth perspective, depression is often understood not only as a disorder, but as a meaningful state of the psyche — sometimes signaling grief, depletion, or a part of the self that has gone unheard or overburdened.

Experiencing symptoms of anxiety

Such as intense worry, restlessness, racing thoughts or heart, shortness of breath, irritability, difficulty concentrating, sleep disruption, or a sense of being constantly on edge. Anxiety is often accompanied by avoidance or hypervigilance and can be understood as a protective inner system working overtime in response to perceived threat — internal or relational.

Living in patterns of people-pleasing or over-functioning

Often rooted in early relational experiences or long-standing complexes that learned safety through attunement to others’ needs. These patterns may reflect inner parts that carry responsibility, vigilance, or self-suppression in order to preserve connection — frequently at the cost of vitality, voice, or rest.

Highly Sensitive or living with Sensory Processing Sensitivity

Deeply attuned to subtle shifts in emotion, atmosphere, and relational field, yet often overwhelmed by a culture that values speed, productivity, and surface-level engagement. This sensitivity can be a source of depth and meaning, while also requiring careful attention to boundaries, pacing, and inner regulation.

Affected by current or past relationships with an antagonistic personality style

Including dynamics often described as narcissistic or borderline. These relationships can leave lasting internal imprints — such as self-doubt, hypervigilance, confusion, or internalized critical or abandoning voices — and may echo earlier relational wounds. Depth-oriented work can help disentangle what belongs to the past from what is still living inside.

Curious about the inner figures, parts, or archetypal patterns shaping your life

Some people experience their inner world not only as thoughts or emotions, but as distinct presences, voices, images, or recurring themes — a protector, a critic, a child part, a guide, or a familiar pattern that shows up across relationships and seasons of life. Depth-oriented work makes room for meeting these inner figures with curiosity rather than judgment, and for understanding how they carry meaning, history, and wisdom.

Seeking a way to explore spiritual or existential questions without abandoning psychological grounding

You may sense that your inner life has a symbolic or spiritual dimension — through dreams, imagination, intuition, or a feeling of being guided by something deeper — while also wanting an approach that is steady, relational, and rooted in psychological care. This work does not impose belief systems, but supports respectful exploration of meaning, soul, and inner experience in a way that remains emotionally safe and ethically held.
