Why Men Struggle With Emotional Intimacy | Dr. Eddie Capparucci

from Marriage Rehab: Exposing Narcissistic & Emotional Abuse · host Marriage Recovery Center / Dr. David B. Hawkins

Why do so many men believe they love their partner—yet she feels emotionally alone?In this Marriage Rehab episode, Dr. David Hawkins talks with counselor and author Dr. Eddie Capparucci about the “relational blind spots” that keep men stuck in emotional immaturity, defensiveness, and shutdown.You’ll learn why fear and emotional discomfort drive avoidance, why many men connect as “doers” or through physicality instead of emotional intimacy, and how attachment wounds from the family of origin can show up as minimizing, fixing, or dismissing.If you’re tired of the cycle—her needs → his defensiveness → disconnection—this conversation gives language, insight, and a practical path forward.You can find Dr. Eddie Capparucci @ https://abundantlifecounselingga.comhttps://a.co/d/aMQakJV
