Are You Running From Love? - Part 3

Recognising the Distancing Behaviour

The first thing that should be done is deepening awareness. Most people know on some levels that things are not working in the love department, but they don't know why. They don't really know how to make sense of it. So it's mostly about looking at "Why do i feel the way i feel, why do i think the way i think?" It's going from "I'm just a guy who won't commit" to going below the surface. Another thing is awareness of the mind-body connection, how much our biology shapes can affect people in relationship. People's bodies holds stories that not even their own minds are aware of and that shows upand gets triggered as they start to get close, more involved and feel more vulnerable. When this happens, some of the old fear kicks in and sets in the kind of biological reaction.

The next post will be the fourth and the last regarding this topic. I hope you all readers out there have enjoyed reading so far. Just a tiny preview, the next topic will be titled "Stop Distancing to Stop Running from Love". Comments are welcomed.
