Is it difficult to let go of control?

Is it easier to live in a fantasy world than to be emotionally or mentally present when interacting with others?

When someone invites emotional closeness or wants physical connection, does it feel safer to push them away or run and hide?

Are there any compulsive sex-related behaviors that you return to over and over, despite negative consequences?

Do certain behaviors such as streaming videos or working take up time that could be spent with loved ones?

Does fear or anger prevent you from getting close to people?

Is there trauma or attachment wounding in your history?

Are you held hostage to loneliness and isolation?

Once I began to know and deeply love myself, it was much easier to love others–and let them get to know and love me.

Here are some of the gifts I have experienced in recovery from intimacy avoidance:

Selfish sexual behavior has faded away.

I now see others as human beings with feelings and needs. I respect their boundaries and treat them with compassion and ​understanding. I have closer friendships and more fulfillment in my family and romantic relationships.

I have more courage to be myself and to set appropriate boundaries.

I am regaining a sense of playfulness.

Fear no longer causes me to sabotage or block emotional intimacy or physical expressions of affection.
