Trauma leaves deep emotional scars, sometimes affecting even the most intimate parts of a relationship. So, this week on Reloscope: The Relationship Science Insights Podcast, host Marie Stella consults human behavior expert Maryann Karinch on the complexities of restoring physical intimacy in a relationship.

Having published books on human behavior, sexual health, and relationships, Maryann Karinch is also a frequent contributor to Psychology Today on the theme of healthy intimate connections after trauma or illness.

In this episode, Maryann Karinch reveals that one of the most common barriers to restoring physical intimacy post-trauma is the reluctance of one partner to touch, when it may be the very thing they need. However, she shares that a strong understanding of oneself and what offers them comfort can be a massive help in the recovery process.

Together, Marie and Maryann Karinch canvass the various attachment styles, how they typically perform in such situations, and what solutions may work for them. So, tune in this week for an episode chock full of eye-opening information on one of the biggest challenges in a relationship!
