Shedding Light on Intimacy Anorexia with Cory M. Schortzman

Marriage is not going to make me happy, but it is going to make me holy, and holiness is a process of dying to my selfishness.
Imagine feeling emotionally starved in a relationship, not from lack of love, but from an inability to connect. This episode of The Recovery Lifestyle Podcast dives deep into this very issue with guest Cory M. Schortzman, author of 'Out of the Darkness'. Hosted by John Rizzi, this conversation is both eye-opening and enlightening, focusing on the often misunderstood condition known as intimacy anorexia.

If you've ever felt a wall between you and your partner that you just can't seem to break down, this episode might offer some answers. Cory also delves into the psychological impact of sexual trauma and its potential to lead to sexual addiction. He doesn’t just stop at identifying problems; he offers practical advice on overcoming these challenges. The discussion also touches on the benefits of intensive counseling and the crucial roles of accountability and authority in the recovery process.
Cory highlights how energy psychology can be a transformative tool, helping individuals shift from selfishness to a more holy and fulfilling life. Whether you're struggling with intimacy anorexia yourself or are trying to support a loved one through it, this episode provides valuable insights and actionable steps.
