from Happy Place

In this conversation, Rina explores the concept of intimacy as a skill that can be trained rather than merely a reaction to stress or loneliness.

Rina emphasizes the need for a shift from quick fixes to meaningful relationships, highlighting the significance of understanding one's own needs and the impact of the nervous system on intimacy.
