Overcome 5 Barriers to Intimacy and Connection

Have you ever asked yourself what keeps you from creating the type of relationship you long for? If so, in this episode, Dr. Kevin Skinner and Amy Andrus discuss five of the most common barriers we have to overcome to achieve the type of intimacy we desire. 

Due to these barriers, we live far below our relationship potential. The five barriers include:

1. Unresolved issues from our past
2. Fear of intimacy
3. Shame
4. Pleasure seeking
5. Lack of relationship skills.

During the show, Dr. Skinner asked you to consider this question: "On a scale between 0 (ineffective) and 10 (very effective), how effective were your partners at teaching you how to have healthy relationships? This is a question that Dr. Skinner has asked audiences throughout the world. You may be surprised at the audience's answers to this critical question.
