Intimacy anorexia is the act of withholding emotionally, spiritually, and sexually from your significant other, making them feel alone and disconnected. The pain and even trauma they experience from this are real due to you withholding your heart from them.

How do you begin to heal from being an intimacy anorexic? How do you start your journey? Step 1 is a good place to begin. The 12 Steps of the recovery process has helped millions of people over the years, both the addict and their spouse, and it can help you as well. In this video, Dr. Doug Weiss, licensed psychologist and national author, walks you through this first step and its principles, advising different resources, and have more intimacy in your relationship. 

It’s important to make sure that you don't try to get better by yourself. Having support from a trusted friend or a group expedites the healing immensely.
