EP 012 S.T.E.P. Into Intimacy

What makes us feel REALLY connected in a relationship? Is it having fun? Sharing experiences? All of the above? Or what?

All relationships will have their ups and downs. That’s part of life. But understanding the different foundations and layers that build into a connected relationship are important to understand. In this episode we will look at these building blocks and how to begin to work on them for our benefit. Listen to STEP Into Intimacy with Eric Connor.

"Emotional intimacy is what makes us feel deeply connected." - Eric Connor

On Having a Connection

Sometimes in a relationship you could feel disconnected. That disconnection can become so overwhelming that you doubt the relationship you're in. And so you ask, "Why did we get together in the first place?"

You might have had expectations when you started, and thought that it only required minimal effort. The reality is, it can (and usually does!) take a lot of work to maintain that connection.

A Way to Reconnect

As time passes, you can feel like you are with a stranger instead of a soulmate.

"The things that brought you to a relationship in the first place -- all the good feelings, the characteristics we loved, all the ways that made us feel connected -- they can be captured again." - Eric Connor

Is there no way to be reconnected with someone you love? The thing is you don't want to be hopeless. That is why you talk about it.

Stepping into Intimacy

It may seem hopeless when the disconnection appears too much. When that happens, you can meet with a therapist to help you out.

"Life is so much better when our primary relationship is working at its best." - Eric Connor

Receiving therapy is not a sign of weakness. You just want to be as strong as possible.

There are times when you can simply resolve a problem on your own, but there are also times when you need someone to talk to and help you out. Eric and his wife are thankful that they did so, too.
