The ONE thing you're doing that ruins EMOTIONAL INTIMACY

Ever wonder why you're not feeling a deep emotional connection with your partner? Or why you instantly reach for the remote, phone, or a bag of chips when you're feeling down? Today's episode is all about confronting these issues head-on, exploring the barriers we unconsciously construct that prevent us from truly experiencing emotional intimacy. We unpack what it means to be emotionally present with others, and highlight common pitfalls that might be stopping you from achieving this profound level of connection. Our conversation takes us through a landscape of avoidance and escapism, as we shine a light on our tendencies to use distractions like endless work, food, online shopping, social media, and even drugs as a way to numb our emotions instead of processing them with our partners. I suggest the radical idea that experiencing our painful emotions with our partner might actually be the key to emotional intimacy. ⬇️⬇️⬇️Watch this episode and many more on my Youtube channel! 👀Instagram/ Braxtongilbert
