Summary

Welcome Brave Lovers! Today we are exploring the work of psychotherapist Ruth Cohn, and her research on the effects of childhood neglect. Join Laurie and George as they tackle the sensitive topic of childhood neglect on the adult intimate relationship. Our hosts share how not having physical or emotional connection at key times of struggle, creates an emptiness. We are often left without words to describe our experiences or comforting touch. They highlight the dilemma of healing and how getting connected in adult relationships can create fear. Often the thing we need is blocked because we sometimes don't know how to manage when we get what we need. Listeners will learn how to put words to these places, understand more about your needs and how therapies like sensate focus work.
