We’re back with another Language of Love session! In this episode, I chat with a 40-something-year-old listener who wants to find love but feels an aversion to dating. She’s never dated and never been physically intimate with someone.
As we explore some of her childhood and current attitude toward men, we unpack the things that might have landed her where she is today. I also break down some tools to begin practicing to open her heart to love vulnerability, like fostering your friendships first!
In this session, we discuss:
- How our parents’ marriage can deeply affect our perception of love and care
- What we are really craving in the search for emotional and physical intimacy
- Why friendship can be a wonderful stepping stone to romance
- How vulnerability and open heartedness with our pets can heal some of the wounds blocking us from love
- The power of somatic experiencing in healing our blocks to love
