Fear of intimacy

[runningpink]

I have been doing a bit if research and a lot of things associated with a Fear of Intimacy tick the boxes with how I feel.
It is only now that I have good support around me that I have given any thought that I do have an actual problem and I’m not just weird like Iv always thought.

Does anyone have any experience of this and would be willing to let me know what you have done to help and overcome this.

It has been suggested by a friend that going to counselling would help. I think I know deep down that this is what I need to do but I’m just not quite ready to take that step yet.

Thank you

Have you thought or looked at Tantric methods?

Physical intimacy, emotional intimacy or both?

Can you do sex without emotions? Emotions with sex?

Sorry to be so personal...it’s just some people use Intimacy as a code word for sex and other people use it to mean “being seen by another person”.
