The Fear of Vulnerability – The Silent Killer | 28-Minute Walk & Talk

from Speaking Smashinese · host Coach Sumo

Many of us often unconsciously erect walls to protect ourselves from potential hurt. In this episode I will discuss the evolutionary roots of this fear. I'll cover things like survival instincts and past traumas. I will highlight how these walls manifest as defensiveness, withholding emotions, and avoiding deep connection with our partners. When finished, I hope you will understand that vulnerability isn’t weakness; it's the foundation of intimacy. Please remember that I am literally recording while I'm exercising so the audio and my cadence will be imperfect. I hope I can become your walking buddy!
