Episode Overview
- Intensity in relationships does not equate to intimacy; understanding the difference is crucial.
- Childhood experiences often shape our perception of love and intensity in relationships.
- Healthy dating involves maintaining boundaries and recognising genuine connections.
- Recognising when our nervous systems are being overwhelmed is key to fostering healthy relationships.
- True intimacy involves mutual respect, emotional connection, and a sense of safety.
If you feel that intensity when you date them, if you meet somebody and you get that hit, if you get those overwhelming butterflies, fucking run. That's actually your nervous system being hijacked. That is not intimacy.
