info_outlineThis coaching call is about attraction in healthy relationships. Today’s caller, Stephanie, feels she is in a wonderful relationship but it lacks the spark of chemistry. She would like to know whether or not it will ever exist. She doesn’t realize how much her little girl is impacting her relationship, specifically the sexual attraction and intimacy aspect.
[For show notes, go here: Christinehassler.com/episode442].
One of the reasons sex and attraction are easier in relationships that aren’t super conscious and healthy is because we feel it is the only way we can connect to the other person. When we connect on conscious, intimate levels or we aren’t coming from our wounded self, it can be overwhelming. To add sexuality into that, can often feel like too much. On some level, we withhold part of ourselves.
Projecting our unmet childhood needs on a partner is one of the ways we kill polarity. The safety we need from another person from an adult perspective is different from the safety our inner child needs. The agreements we have from parent to child are different from partner-to-partner agreements.
In healthy long-term relationships, it does take effort and intention because we don’t have the initial chemistry and we don’t have the dysfunction of the drama of unmet need attachment. If we are in a dynamic where our partners give us the things we didn’t get from our parents, it can kill the spark. Just being in a relationship for a while can also lessen the spark.
Consider/Ask Yourself:
-
Have you been in a relationship where there is a lot of love but not a lot of lust?
-
Is there a part of you that believes you can’t have chemistry, safety, consciousness, and love?
-
How was intimacy modeled for you as a child? Was a healthy, affectionate, romantically intimate relationship modeled for you?
Stephanie’s Question:
Stephanie feels she is in a great relationship but the spark of sexual attraction is missing. She would like to know why.
