0:20.5	today's episode. Hello friends, Dr Motley here with the Ancient Health Podcast.
0:26.0	Today this podcast is about trapped emotions and problems with intimacy.
0:32.0	Can your trapped emotions, can the emotional program that you've created or received when you're younger or through life, can it have an effect on how you are intimate, intimate with the person you love.
