Today we’re diving into a topic that millions experience but almost no one knows how to name: intimacy anorexia — the painful dynamic where you are with someone yet feel completely alone.
In this episode, we explore:
• What intimacy anorexia really is
• How an intimacy-avoidant partner behaves
• Why they seem emotionally open with others but closed with you
• What emotional starvation feels like inside a relationship
• Childhood wounds and trauma patterns that create intimacy avoidance
• The common excuses (“I’m tired,” “I’m stressed,” distractions, phone use)
• Hidden addictions and stimulation cycles
• How to know if YOU are the avoidant partner
• How to know if YOU are the emotionally starving partner
• How to talk about this without triggering shutdown
• When healing is possible — and when leaving becomes self-protection
I am not a psychologist or therapist. I am a certified life coach who works with trauma, emotional patterns, communication issues, relationship dynamics, and generational wounds.
This episode is not about diagnosing anyone — it’s about giving language to what you’ve been surviving in silence.
