Why is there anxiety in intimacy? Why is being vulnerable scary? Building relationships means opening up to another, taking risks, trusting. But why is this natural for some and causes internal protest and anxiety for others? In the lecture by practicing psychologist Ali Shundrik, you will explore three basic fears that hinder building healthy connections: the fear of intimacy, the fear of rejection, and the fear of repeating parental scenarios. Each of these fears is not formed by chance - they are rooted in personal history, in attachment experiences, in childhood and early relationships. The lecture will explain how they arise and manifest in adult behavior - how we avoid, hide, and repeat the same mistakes without noticing.
