Ask the Unfaithful

Episode 7 - Are All Unfaithfuls Intimacy Avoidant?


Listen Later

What does it mean to be Intimacy Avoidant? What even is intimacy avoidance and am I that? Or, is my partner that? If so, what do we do and how do we heal from it? Can we even heal from it? Today James and I tackle not only these questions but a whole host of questions that surround the idea of an unfaithful partner being intimacy avoidant. The good news is, even if you or your partner are intimacy avoidant, it's not a death sentence and there is great hope that you or your partner can develop true, gritty, engaging intimacy and find new life for your relationship.

The bad news is, it won't just happen and it won't come by mere osmosis. Without a plan and an expert driven protocol this level of intimacy will remain elusive, if not impossible. The cry of the betrayed often times is, if my partner is truly intimacy avoidant, why were they able to be intimate with their affair partner? Why were they seemingly able to be intimate and give what I have asked for time and time again from them to someone else?

Today you're in luck as James and I share practical insight from almost 40 years of combined experience helping both the unfaithful and betrayed partner heal from what feels impossible at times, but certainly isn't.
