Simplifying Relationships Using Psychotherapy

with your friendapist, Dr. Mary Marano

AS SEEN IN

Maintaining a relationship and making it strong and resilient to life’s challenges takes a willingness of both partners to put in time and effort.

If you’re ready to disrupt the patterns that are limiting you and take charge of your life then you’re in the perfect place to do that. We all deserve healthy, loving, thriving relationships at home, in our friend circles and at our workplace. But to receive the love we want, we first have to get out of our own way.

Relationship S.O.S

READY – SET – GROW

Changed By Mary Course Preveiw (2)

JOIN ME FOR A SELF-PACED THERAPY PROCESS OF PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION FROM THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME!

You can officially take me home with you!

Out of all the requests I get, the most common has to be “Mary, can I please bring you with me to (insert triggering event or person here)?”

The truth is that the work you do is not restricted to the therapy room. If you truly want to break your patterns to experience healing breakthroughs then you need to consistently work at opening your heart, reflecting on your past, and taking steps forward.

In fact, some of the most radical transformation happens in a space that you can set up for yourself to regularly do reflection and self-discovery. Grab a candle, put on some music, get into your comfy clothes, and sit in your favourite spot while we journey deeper into your truth.

What people are saying...

5/5
"I was very apprehensive a course would do much help for my partner and I since our relationship seemed beyond saving. I bought it as a last resort and we have been blown away! It opened up conversations about things we never spoke about before. It's been a very healing process for us."

5/5
I have always had a tumultuous relationship with my mother. I heard about this and decided to work through it slowly with her everytime we were together. Profound is all I can say. Would highly recommend.

5/5
"I have been struggling to bounce back from a break up that really tore me apart. Every new relationship turns into a mess. This reflective journey has allowed me to see why I act the way I do sometimes and connect me to a better version of myself."

I am a writer but seem to have a block every time I try and write about my past. Mary's course has been full of revelations and became my favourite Friday night in for some self-care therapy. Thank you, Mary!

What doesn’t make sense to you today, you will come to understand in due time. Someone said to me, “I think this situation came into my life for a reason…

I can’t shout it loud enough…YES!!!

Situations and people alike are a reflection of who we are-the good, the bad & the ugly. My friends, you cannot escape yourself on this journey!

I have worked with hundreds of individuals, couples and families and I have been blessed to witness my clients transform right before my eyes.

3 children are my own and we have fostered over 80 additional children through the years. Being in a family dynamic like this has given me deep insights into behavior patterns and the way we relate to our loved ones.

Did you know your behaviour patterns stem from childhood?

What you do consistently becomes who you are.

The roots of ‘what you do’ are often deeply embedded in your life experience and the environment you grew up in. I break down behaviour archetypes in this ebook!

Discover which archetype, personal cycles and habitual responses you’ve adopted along the way.

5/5
"Hey Mary, well you cannot even begin to imagine that on Monday, I had a heart to heart with my best friend about my behaviour patterns of control and codependency…. I told her that my change is part of my ongoing work with you…Then I opened my email and took the quiz and totally blown away how well I was matched with being codependent and was I surprised (nope not at all)! Thank you for sharing this e-book with me.
