What if deeper intimacy begins by facing the emotions you’ve been avoiding?

In this episode of the Intimate Marriage Podcast, Dr. Alexandra Stockwell explores why avoiding emotional pain is blocking you from true pleasure. Discover how emotional numbness doesn’t just protect you from hurt—it also dulls your capacity for joy, passion, and connection. 

Learn what it really means to embrace Uncompromising Intimacy and why the courage to feel it all is the key to a more vibrant, emotionally rich relationship.

 

This episode breaks down how:

  • Avoiding pain also blocks pleasure and connection.

  • Uncompromising Intimacy means truth over compromise.

  • Discomfort can lead to deeper intimacy.

  • Growth requires feeling, not numbing.

  • Real connection starts with authenticity.
