Weâre 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. Sheâs never dated and never been physically intimate with someone.Â
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!Â
In this session, we discuss:
- How our parentsâ marriage can deeply affect our perception of love and careÂ
- What we are really craving in the search for emotional and physical intimacyÂ
- 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 loveÂ
- The power of somatic experiencing in healing our blocks to love
If youâre curious about somatic experiences, check out the Hakomi Institute or Somatic Experiencing International for more information. Â
