In this episode, I describe and analyze about the tragic 'pursuer/distancer' dynamic in relationships, when one partner is constantly pursuing the other for more intimacy, connection or sex. The more s/he pursues, the more the partner creates distance.
I show why and how people create and maintain such dynamics.
The episode ends with practical tips on how to liberate yourself and your loved ones from this tragic 'dance'.

This process creates deep, authentic connections.
The episode also include some practical tips on how to clarify your communication in order to deepen your personal and professional relationships.
