Isn't it funny that for a lot of us, our template for love is pain? Too often there are those of us who have had a long history of experiencing pain as love.

In today’s episode of Sex & Spirituality, we talk about the difference between emotional hunger versus love. We also discuss the signs, causes & coping strategies for overcoming the fear of intimacy.

If you have a history of imbalanced, unhealthy relationships, it's imperative that you learn to recognize, acknowledge, feel, and finally release your feelings so that you become more comfortable with them and can more easily distinguish a healthy situation from an unhealthy one.
