Many of us learn at a young age (especially boys) that vulnerability=weakness.
We therefore try to hide it and don't show it to our partners.
This results in shallow, self-presentational relationships with little vitality, excitement, play or curiosity.
Moreover, when you're not vulnerable, then you're less interesting to your partner and over time you become more numb to your own inner workings.
The solution? practice the ability of vulnerability. The more you'll show, the more free you'll feel.
But how can I be more vulnerable (especially if I'm not used to it)?
In this talk, we unpack the issue of vulnerability in intimate relationships, using examples from our marriage and the clinic.
Practical tips will help you dare to be more vulnerable in a safe and gradual way.
