Summary

In today's episode we are discussing how to shift from protection to pleasure. George and Laurie dive deep on what couples need to do to regain safety and repair so they can begin to tap into their erotic excitement. Pursuers and withdrawers will be able to identify their fears that create emotional and sexual blocks and what they need to share to their partner. This helps the relationship heal and repair old wounds that keep the cycle stuck and active. When couples do this they can begin to shift to more pleasure focused connection. Safety and reassurance will lead partners to excitement and exploration. Great lovers repair their fears together and use that new, safer energy to explore.
