Week Three - Barriers to Intimacy

Welcome back to week three and this week Mathew and Dr. Elizabeth Fedrick talk about:

  • How we lose intimacy
  • The most common struggles
  • Fears surrounding intimacy & 
  • What if you are hardwired to not receive intimacy because of a trauma? 

    • We'll also break down:

    • Emotional neglect
  • Anxious and Avoidance Dance
  • Non knowing how to express it
  • What to do if it was never modeled for you
  • Self-Esteem (how couples can help each other)
  • Lack of safety (how can I relay that message)
  • Toss around more compliments

    • Quote of the podcast, “Stop telling them to go right, tell them you love it when they go left”

     

    Dr. Fedrick and Mathew also explain what they need to feel safe and do so with an exercise you can do yourself.
