Fear of intimacy can show up in so many ways.
Have you found the partner of your dreams, but you can’t get past the friend zone? Or has your sex life suddenly hit a wall? Do all of your relationships seem to stay on a surface level? You haven’t lost your mojo, but you may be experiencing a subconscious fear of intimacy.
Not to worry. This is common territory, especially for Twin Flame Unions, and the good news is that you have the power to heal it all. Let’s break it down.
What Causes A Fear Of Intimacy?
You could call a fear of intimacy simply a fear of being seen. Intimacy doesn’t just mean physical interaction, either. It can be emotional and spiritual as well.
Most fears in any relationship also stem from the subconscious belief that you are separate from Love or unworthy of it. In a Twin Flame Union, this might look like your Twin avoiding you, numbing out in various ways, or never quite going deeper in your relationship emotionally or otherwise.
How Intimacy Manifested in My Union
In so many of my relationships, I would hit a wall emotionally.
Physically, things would go well, but spiritually and emotionally, I felt alone and more mature than a lot of my partners. It wasn’t until I met my Twin that I felt like I could truly go deep in all the ways we interacted. As I heal through my own intimacy blocks, he meets me wherever I am and often surprises me with his insights and tenderness.
As we’ve explored and gone deeper with each other, we’ve created a nice rhythm and rapport with each other, more intimate than even my closest relationships. We can look at each other sometimes and know exactly what the other is thinking, for instance. We can also tell each other anything. It’s freeing.
How Do You Heal A Fear Of Intimacy?
It may seem like all your intimacy fears have to do with your partner or other people, but deeply, they have to do with YOU. Your partner or Twin only mirrors the relationship you have with yourself.
So the way to heal intimacy fears is to use the Mirror Exercise and ask yourself – is there a part of me that is afraid to see my true self? To love myself deeply? You intentionally bring this part of you all the love and care they need and invite them back into your heart. As you heal this, your Twin will reflect the healing instead of the fear.
There is always support available for you, too. Sometimes intimacy blocks are difficult to spot, but a coach or a class can help enormously. In my own journey, my coach has been able to see things that I couldn’t and to lovingly guide me back to my peace with each trigger upturned. The results are miraculous.
