Do you associate intimate relationships with panic, overwhelm, chronic gut pain or the feeling of being trapped?

Well, then you’re not alone. I had this for years and my biggest wish was to just “feel normal” and relaxed with my partner.

But the good news is, there is a way to make relationships not feeling so painful and anxiety driven anymore.

After a handful of exhausting breakups and through years of therapy I figured out 5 game changing lessons, that completely transformed my relationship life.

Therefore in this video today, I will reveal to you why intimate relationships might overwhelm you in the first place and what exactly you can do to finally feel safer.
