Some people genuinely have bad luck in relationships. They encounter partners who are dishonest, incompatible, or dealing with their own unresolved issues. But when the same dynamic repeats with meaningfully different partners, luck becomes an insufficient explanation. The common variable across every failed relationship is the person themselves, and the common dynamic is the behavior they bring to the relationship at the point where it starts to require real emotional investment. Recognizing the difference between external misfortune and self-generated destruction is uncomfortable, but it is also empowering, because external misfortune cannot be controlled while internal patterns can be understood and changed.
For adults in Boca Raton who suspect their relationship failures are self-generated, Dr. David Steinbok provides a safe therapeutic context in which to examine that suspicion. A self sabotage in relationships therapist does not assign blame. The work is about understanding the pattern with enough precision that the patient can begin to respond to it differently.
