The Space Between Us™

Created by Rebecca May

As a relationship therapist, I believe healthy relationships are built through a balance of self-awareness, understanding, and skill development.

We each bring our own experiences, values, fears, needs, strengths, and vulnerabilities into our relationships. Understanding ourselves is an important part of understanding our relationships.

Yet relationships are not created by one person alone.

Relationships exist in the space between people.

Within that space we find trust, misunderstanding, repair, communication, negotiation, connection, and growth.

My goal is not to change either person.

My goal is to help people understand themselves, understand one another, and develop the skills needed to navigate the space between them.

Because healthy relationships are not built when two people become the same.

They are built when two unique people become curious enough to understand themselves, understand each other, and create something meaningful together.

After all, you are not special. You are unique. And when two people bring their unique qualities together, they have the opportunity to create something special.
