Imagine for a moment that you feel great, that you have no worries about finances, that you feel loved and loving, that you have only positive beliefs about yourself, and that you are living your life on purpose.

The reason you feel anxiety in safe situations, is because something you are seeing, hearing, smelling, or feeling in that moment reminds you of a past abuse, loss or trauma.
"Even If You Lost the Parent Lottery, You Can Have or Find True Love"

***Do You Want to Know What Intimacy is So You Can Improve All of Your Relationships?
If you think intimacy means having a sexual relationship like most people do, then learning the true definition of intimacy will help you in all of your relationships. The very high percentage of failed relationships is due in large part to a lack of understanding of what true intimacy is. Intimacy is sharing your thoughts, feelings and needs with your friends, and also sharing your body with your partner. When you share your thoughts, your feelings, your needs and your body with your partner, hopefully, you are creating a warm, close and loving connection that will last forever.
"Are You Afraid to Open Up?"
If you are committed to finding true love or keeping your love relationship alive and well, you will need to overcome your fear of opening up so you can create true intimacy.

Emotional intimacy may be a dream of yours, and that makes alot of sense. Sharing who you are, being seen and known by another, and sharing love and laughter together is soul satisfying.
