#052: Are you killing intimacy by avoiding conflict?

Join me on a personal journey exploring conflict avoidance and intimacy. Discover how avoiding discomfort can hinder genuine connections and carry hidden costs.

In today's episode (which is one of my favourites!), I share my experiences and how my attachment style shaped my relationships. Hear a poignant story of how conflict avoidance inhibited intimacy in one of my relationships, for seven years. A story which highlights the power of taking emotional risks and having open conversations. 

I also discuss my struggle with asking for help and steps to change. Let's reflect on areas where conflict avoidance blocks intimacy in our own lives. Let's uncover strategies for authentic connections and growth through the discomfort.
