Many people find themselves longing for intimacy but pulling
away or sabotaging if it comes close. Today Dr. Carol explores what
it means to have an “intimacy disorder.” You’ll hear real-life
vignettes of people struggling in this way, and we’ll unpack how
early experiences, attachment wounds, and the brain’s survival
wiring shape our capacity for connection. We’ll look at what
neuroscience reveals about how these pathways form, and how they
can be rewired and healed.
Theology and brain science together tell a remarkable story. We
were created in the image of a relational God, made for connection
that reflects His nature. As we face the broken stories in our
sexual and relational histories, and as God’s presence meets us
there, the old patterns that once protected us can begin to
transform. Discover what sexual and relational goodness can look
like when intimacy becomes healed and whole.
Relationship Prescriptions with Dr. Carol is a weekly podcast dedicated to helping men, women, and couples experience good health, loving relationships and joyful spirituality that Jesus came to bring.
