7. How To Create EMOTIONAL INTIMACY With Your Partner
The secrets every woman wants to know.
After doing couples therapy with hundreds of couples, I routinely encounter similar problems as I assess couples. It takes different forms, but sounds like this “I can’t get my partner to open up,” “I wish we were closer,” “we don’t have intimacy,” “my partner doesn’t talk,” and many more comments indicating that emotional connection is lacking.
In this episode we discuss the TV and Book Series Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. We look at the scene in season 1 episode 7 The Wedding, where they need to consummate their marriage.
In this episode we discuss:
How questions get your partner to open up
How to create emotional connection
How to pick the right time to talk to your partner
How to talk your partner will listen
