Скачать или смотреть Protecting Yourself Is Pushing Them Away

You defend against vulnerability to protect yourself. But your defense prevents the intimacy you actually want.

Your defensive structure served you once. It kept you safe when safety wasn't available. But intimacy requires the vulnerability your defenses exist to prevent.

When you defend against influence, you defend against connection. When you avoid emotional exposure, you avoid genuine encounter.

This is the intimacy paradox. The strategies that protected you now prevent what you're seeking.
Real intimacy requires risk. The question isn't whether to be vulnerable. It's whether the relationship is safe enough for that vulnerability.

In one 60-minute Desirable Mind Session, I help you recognize the defensive patterns preventing intimacy and discover how to create safety for connection.

Special offer: $100 (regular $150). Only a couple spots available each week.
