WHAT REAL INTIMACY ACTUALLY FEELS LIKE — Emotional Rewiring, Ep 7
Spoiler: It doesn’t feel like fireworks—it feels like being seen.
You say you want real connection. Deep love.
Someone who sees you.
But when it actually happens?
You feel exposed. Uncomfortable.
Maybe even… bored.
That’s not dysfunction. That’s your body learning to feel safe.

Key Takeaways
Real intimacy feels calm, steady, and sometimes awkward at first.
If your nervous system was wired for chaos, safety will feel off—until you rewire it.
“Ick” or boredom when someone is kind? That’s fear of being seen without performing.
Healing means letting your body stay in connection long enough to believe it’s safe.
Real Talk: You’re Not Scared of Love—You’re Scared of Being Seen
You’ve been the caretaker. The “I’m fine” one. The high-performer.
You built a life around not needing anyone.
So when someone finally shows up soft, calm, and steady…
Your nervous system panics.
“You don’t push love away because you don’t want it.
You push it away because your body was never taught it was safe.”
This episode walks you through why true intimacy triggers old fears—and how to practice staying instead of fleeing.
