Relationship Counseling For People In Technology Industries
The pace of work and life in Silicon Valley is hectic, and the demands on our time and resources are too numerous to list. Too often we end up feeling depleted instead of energized. We don't allow ourselves the time necessary to reflect and recharge.
Coming from an engineering background, and having worked in technology fields, I know first-hand how rewarding, satisfying, and challenging working in high-tech can be. I also know it can be socially isolating.
High-tech work often demands too much of our time, and the stresses particular to it can lead to a narrowing of interests. Additionally, primary social outlets are commonly work-related, making it difficult to maintain a current relationship or make new connections with others. This may lead you to have questions about how to improve your success in a relationship. For example, do you:
Have trouble talking with someone you just met about your work without losing the other person (a non-techie) from the get-go?
Wonder how to be more affectionate or expressive when that isn't your style?
Have trouble communicating with your current partner?
Feel like you don't fit in or even miss some social cues from time to time?
Find it difficult to share your multiple interests and abilities with a partner?
Many of us were never shown good models of healthy relationships, and you may not recognize what gets in your way. Others of us may be scared away from social interactions by previous experiences we've had at school, home, or elsewhere.
Experiences such as not being accepted, being laughed at, having had critical or perfectionistic parents, traumatic experiences such as loss, immigration, and sexual or physical abuse can affect us subtly or dramatically, whether or not we're consciously aware of these effects or their causes.
If solving these difficulties were as simple as learning something new today, you'd figure it out quickly. However, the more subtle influences over our lives can impact us more powerfully and can be very difficult to erase. Talking to an objective, knowledgeable professional can help you figure out what to do differently in relationships.
