Articles on anxiety, panic and relationships.

I write about what I meet most often in practice: anxiety, panic attacks, and difficulties in relationships. These are short pieces for anyone trying to understand what is happening. They don't replace a course of therapy, but they can be a place to start.

Couples far from home, and the risk of isolation

When a couple lives far from family, friends and their own social network, the risk is not only loneliness. The real problem is that the partner ends up being the only source of emotional support, company and security. This increases the weight the relationship carries, encourages conflict, creates mutual dependence and, over time, […]

Histrionic or borderline? Two different needs

The histrionic personality — the older term was “hysterical” — and the borderline personality can look very alike. In both, people experience intense emotions, have complicated relationships, and can seem theatrical or impulsive. Beneath the surface, though, there are important differences. […]

Why do I always need reassurance?

Have you ever felt awful because someone took too long to reply to a message? Or noticed immediately that your partner’s tone of voice was different, their look colder, that they seemed distant — even though they said everything was fine? If you recognise yourself in this, it does not necessarily mean you are “too sensitive” or “too needy”. […]

When does a relationship become toxic?

How often we assume the secret to a happy relationship is love. In fact the first ingredient is something else: respect. Two people can love each other deeply and, at the same time, hurt, insult, humiliate or even come to violence. When respect goes, love alone is not enough to build a healthy relationship. […]

Why am I so impulsive?

If you often say or do things you later regret, you may have concluded that you are simply an impulsive person. Impulsiveness, though, does not depend only on character or willpower. Very often it depends on how your brain is experiencing time. When the present takes over completely, emotions feel final, the past temporarily loses its weight, […]

Anxiety, panic attacks and relationships: why I write these articles

Every week, in practice, I hear the same questions asked in different ways. Why the heart races for no apparent reason. Why a relationship that felt solid has become hard work. Why anxiety arrives punctually on certain evenings and seems never to have existed the next morning.

These articles come from those questions. I write them between sessions, when something said in the room seems worth saying to someone who hasn't yet walked through the door.

What I write about: anxiety, panic, stress, relationships and trauma

I work with anxiety and panic attacks, agoraphobia and claustrophobia, stress and burnout, difficulties in relationships, sexual dysfunction, and trauma. The articles follow the same areas: how certain mechanisms form, what happens in the body, why some situations repeat, and how a course of psychotherapy works.

You won't find exercises to apply or techniques to try at home. You'll find descriptions: of how certain things work, and what can be done with that.

How to read these articles on psychotherapy

They are short pieces, meant to be read in a few minutes. Each one takes a single question. If you recognise yourself in what you read, it doesn't mean you have a disorder: it means the description touched something. It's a place to start, not a diagnosis.

An article can't know your history, your context, or what you have already tried. That takes a conversation.

Italian psychotherapist in Milan, working in English and online

I am an Italian psychologist and psychotherapist, registered with the Order of Psychologists of Lombardy. I practise in Italy — two rooms in Milan, one in Monza and one in Cernusco sul Naviglio — and I also work online. I see people in Italian and in English, and I have worked with people who moved to Milan from all over the world.

If something here makes you want to write, the first step is only a message. From there we work out together what might be useful.
