What if the reason intimacy feels hard isn’t lack of attraction — but lack of safety?
In this episode I’m joined by Rachel Dorneanu — relationship and sex therapist — to explore the psychology of intimacy, vulnerability, and emotional connection.
We explore:
- Vulnerability and emotional safety in relationships.
- Conservative upbringing and sexual shame.
- Communication and what makes a “safe partner”.
- Arranged marriages and cultural dynamics.
- Highly Sensitive People and intimacy.
