Intimacy Issues
What are intimacy issues?
Problems with intimacy can be present when you have difficulty becoming close to someone. Intimacy issues can be emotional as well as physical and can get in the way of having a loving, sexual relationship. I realize now that my own intimacy problems have been one the root causes of my erectile dysfunction and awkwardness in my sex life for many years. It’s the deeper issues of low self esteem, lack of trust and fear of being vulnerable with someone that has inhibited me to experience the pure joy and pleasure of a loving relationship both in and out of the bedroom.
How I can help
Many of the root cause fears listed, will often originate from childhood or teenage years growing up. When we are young, these fears and negative beliefs can be hardwire our belief system. The influence of peer pressure from our friends, bully’s, teachers and parents can dominate our thoughts and result in beliefs of feeling not good enough.
I use the Emotion Code to remove these deep rooted trapped emotions from past traumas that could be stopping you having the most loving, joyous relationships. Emotions such as abandonment, rejection, unworthy, shame and jealousy can be trapped in our subconscious mind from childhood which are causing our current fears.
In my case, as a man from the north east of England, I feared dancing and singing for many years because these activities were open to ridicule from the old school masculine community of the 1990’s (watch the film, Billy Elliot). After having sessions of the Emotion Code and Body Code, my self-esteem has increased so much that I no longer take notice of peer pressure and thoughts of negativity in my head. I live my life by doing the things that makes my heart and soul sing which now include dancing.
