Online Zoom Workshop
After some time in a relationship we may start to feel discomfort, disappointment or frustration. We often react then by adopting some patterns that may create more distance instead of more openness and intimacy. We may react by pointing outwards, blaming or trying to change the other person, rather than meeting our truth inside.
By getting to know how our inner world works and what patterns and behaviours we use that are sabotaging our intimacy instead of enriching it, we can turn our experience from bitterness, irritability and misunderstanding to one of deep intimacy and love. From closing out hearts to expansion and openness.
In this workshop we will bring awareness to the root patterns that we fall into. We will explore attitudes, patterns and behaviours so we can bring light and openness to our relationships. We will explore the different stages we go through in intimacy and how to address them so we can experience more nourishing and healthy relationships with others, with ourselves and with life in general.
Subjects we’re going to explore:
- Bringing light to the underlying contracts in relationships.
- Patterns that we go through that become an obstacle to intimacy.
- When I feel pressure or overwhelmed by the other person’s demands.
- When I feel I just need more from the other person and my partner keeps finding excuses and postponing intimacy.
- When I repeat the pattern of getting excited at the beginning and as time progresses I want to take more space for myself.
- When I feel like I’m begging for closeness and cannot get consistent fulfilment and nourishment.
- From fantasy trust to real trust
- Stages of intimacy and sexuality and how to grow together as we go through them.
- Presence and vulnerability in sexuality. From chasing or avoiding to feeling nourished and content.
- When the “honeymoon” finishes and we encounter our insecurities and fears. From wishing it to be like it used to be, blaming, wanting to change the other person etc. to meeting on the same ground, making compromises, accepting, understanding and falling back in love again.
- From illusion, excitement and hope to insecurities, fears, disappointment, rejection and expecting the other person to change. How to deal with this stage to deepen intimacy.
- From co-dependency, confusion and frustration to love and freedom.
