Show Notes:
Do you shudder at the touch of your partner? Do you feel on edge and easily triggered lately?
You might not even know where it’s coming from – it just happens suddenly. And it makes having sex extremely difficult.
If this describes you, you’re not alone. Most couples will experience a sense of disconnection with their partner at some point(s) in their relationship.
Life happens, people change, and negative anchors start taking deep holds in our mood together.
In this episode, Sharla and Robert discuss a very simple but profoundly helpful exercise that could help you and your partner break the wall standing between you.
Fifteen minutes is all you need.
