Relationship Circles#

1. Draw on the diagram how ‘close’ you feel people are to you within your life at the moment.

   • Remember: ‘close’ means they have a lot to do with you within your life, not necessarily how much you like them.

   For example:

   • “I have a good relationship with my mum who I talk to about my life therefore I would put mum in the circle with me”
   • “I don’t have a good/close relationship with my friend Julie so I would put them on the outside circle”
   • “I have a good relationship with my cousin, but I haven’t seen them in years, so I would put them on the outside circle”
   • “I don’t like my housemate, but we talk everyday and they have a significant impact on my wellbeing, therefore I would put them in the circle with me”

2. Now draw on the diagram where you would like these people to be.

   • Think about the types of relationships you have with the people you’ve written down.
     • Remember: You want your most healthy relationships closer to the middle, & unhealthy relationships further out.
