Hold Me Tight! Do You Feel Deeply Loved? – SUE JOHNSON

 

Dr. Johnsson’s idea is that presenting conflicts/fights in relationships are  “distress”  calls between intimate partners, which is a result of an emotional disconnection between them. The key to reconnect is critical in getting  healing, trust, authentic, and  strong intimacy. It is important in that process that each partner trusts they are are there for each other in each moment in the journey together – that is being open and responsive to each other as they intimately share life, love, sex, and passions at our most vulnerable emotional  & physical level. There is universal need, in humans,  to be emotionally connected to another person and to be safe with them at that intimate level.  And when that is absent or lost, we are are unfulfilled in and critical of our relationships.
