Many of us learned that love and connection isn’t safe. We may have endured the pain of being hurt in our families, friendships, romance, and even our communities, but we can still build the tools to help us recover and re-open our hearts to what we need most.In this episode, we learn more about how the fear of intimacy leads us to hide, how what we think keeps us safe actually keeps us cut off from our needs, and how to start slowly opening our hearts again in order to build safe and sustainable relationships. Enjoyed the episode?
