New studies in neuroscience tell us that it is possible to stay in love for the long haul. Scientists have found that the brain activity of couples who’d been together for 20-plus years and still experienced romantic love was similar to people who’d just fallen in love. If true and lasting love is possible than why do so many relationships fall apart? What gets in the way of maintaining the deep attractions and excitement that people feel early on in a romance?
One of the most important answers can be found within. Whether they know it or not, most people are afraid of really being in love. While their fears may manifest themselves in different ways or show themselves at different stages of a relationship, every individual harbors certain defenses that they believe on some level will protect them from getting hurt. These defenses may offer a false illusion of safety or security, but they keep people from attaining the closeness they most desire.
So what drives these fears of intimacy? What keeps people from finding and keeping the love they say they want? This Webinar will explore the six most significant reasons people fear love and how these fears work to sabotage real closeness and lasting intimacy. Both partners contribute to relationship problems, but by discovering and challenging one’s own, subconscious fears, one can create new possibilities for passion, fulfillment and love.
