You're feeling disappointed that relationships never seem to last past a certain point. As far as you remember, you had a fairly “normal” childhood, but why is it so difficult to get close to others? Relational wounds heal through new experiences of positive relationship, and therapy can be a great place to explore that in a safe and structured way.
