The Importance of Emotional Engagement

Emotional engagement is crucial for sexual pursuers who often feel rejected in their relationships. This feeling of rejection can lead to a negative self-view, where they blame themselves for their partner's lack of interest in intimacy. By focusing on building emotional safety first, these individuals can express their vulnerabilities and fears, creating an environment where partners feel encouraged to reconnect physically. A successful emotional engagement allows the sexual pursuer to better articulate their needs and reduces anxiety, ensuring a healthier connection in intimacy.
