DATING REHAB: Setting my future relationship goal, how to nurture an emotional connection + forgiving people for the past

Episode 6 (finale) of Dating Rehab: setting a real relationship goal, nurturing emotional connection, and learning to forgive.In the final episode of my six-week Dating Rehab series with coach Eimear from Kindling Dating Coaching, I set myself an actual, tangible relationship goal for the first time in my life: to build a free-flowing, emotionally open relationship by November 2026. We dig into why I keep shutting down emotional intimacy the moment things start to feel secure, why "safe" has always felt like "boring" to me, and how a somatic breathwork session unlocked something I didn't expect — forgiveness.I also share the update on the guy I've been seeing (spoiler: it's going well), read a poem that's been living rent-free in my head, and answer a listener's dilemma about balancing a new relationship with independence and alone time.If you've ever confused anxiety for excitement, or sabotaged something good because it felt too calm, this one's for you. Get your love story started with Kindling Dating Coaching now 💗Heartbreak is so last season, and I've teamed up with Eimear from Kindling Dating Coaching to transform my dating life over the next six weeks. Each week I'll review my learnings and how I've put them into practise. In this final episode, I set myself a relationship go for the future and delve into how my inability to truly forgive might be holding me back from happiness. I also discuss how I'm struggle to grow the emotional connection with my current date.Book on to Lorna's breath work sessions here 🌞You can read the poem I share at the end of this episode here 💐You can send me your dilemmas by direct message or by emailing [email protected] THE PODCASTI want to create the best independent podcast for the LGBTQ+ community, and I need your help to do it!
