Eye Contact, Attraction & the Fear of Being Seen: What This Workshop Taught Us About Love and Intimacy

Do you avoid eye contact… even with people you’re close to?
Have you ever confused attraction with safety — and didn’t realize it until it was too late?

In this raw, unfiltered episode, we dive into an intense intimacy workshop that pushed both of us way outside our emotional comfort zones. From eye-gazing with strangers to facing triggers in front of someone you’re attracted to, this wasn’t just a feel-good event — it was emotional exposure on level 10.

We unpack what happens when real connection collides with old wounds, and why being seen by someone you care about can feel scarier than anything else. Through powerful moments of silence, unexpected tears, and honest reflection, we explore the messy, beautiful complexity of human connection — and what it really means to feel safe in love.

We go into:
💔 The hidden fears that keep us from true connection👁️ Why eye gazing can crack you open in 90 seconds🔥 The electric tension between safety and attraction💬 Real talk on masculine & feminine energy dynamics🚩 What one moment taught us about red flags and self-protection
