Struggling with physical intimacy in your relationship? Conflict avoidance is the surprising culprit you need to know about

Hey there, it’s Todd Creager. Have you ever wondered why the spark in your bedroom seems to have fizzled out, even though you still love your partner deeply? As a couples therapist, I’ve seen this scenario play out time and time again. But here’s the kicker: the reason behind your dwindling physical intimacy might not be what you think.

In my latest video, I dive deep into a topic that’s often overlooked but incredibly crucial: the connection between conflict avoidance and physical intimacy. Trust me, this is a game-changer for many couples I work with, and it could be for you too.

But why should you take the time to watch this video? Let me break it down for you:

• Uncover the Hidden Intimacy Killer: I’ll reveal how conflict avoidance, something you might not even realize you’re doing, can slowly but surely chip away at your sexual connection. This insight alone could be the key to reigniting your passion.

• Learn to be “Healthfully Selfish”: I know, I know – being selfish sounds like bad advice, right? But I’ll show you why a certain kind of selfishness is actually crucial for a thriving sex life. It’s all about finding that sweet spot between caring for your partner and honoring your own needs.

• Get Practical Tools to Overcome Conflict Avoidance: I’m not just going to leave you hanging with theory. I’ll give you specific questions to ask yourself (and your partner) that can help you start addressing those avoided conflicts and rekindling your intimacy.

• Understand the Science Behind It All: I’ll break down the neurobiological aspects of conflict avoidance and how it affects your libido. Don’t worry, I’ll keep it simple and easy to understand – no Ph.D. required!

• Hear Real-Life Success Stories: I’ll share personal experiences and client stories (keeping everything confidential, of course) that show how addressing conflict avoidance can transform your relationship and sex life.

Now, you might be thinking, “Todd, this sounds great, but I’m not sure if it applies to me.”

Let me ask you this: Have you ever held back from expressing a need or desire to your partner because you were afraid of causing tension?

Have you ever swallowed your frustration to keep the peace, only to feel a little less interested in physical intimacy later?

If you answered yes to either of these, then this video is definitely for you.

In my years of working with couples, I’ve seen how conflict avoidance can sneak into a relationship. It often starts innocently enough – maybe you don’t want to rock the boat, or you’re trying to be considerate.

But over time, it can create a wall between you and your partner, especially in the bedroom.

The good news?

Once you understand this connection, you can start to make positive changes.

In the video, I’ll guide you through the process of recognizing conflict avoidance in your relationship and give you practical steps to overcome it.

We’ll explore how to express your needs and desires in a way that brings you closer together, rather than pushing you apart.

And here’s the exciting part: as you learn to navigate conflicts in a healthy way, you might find that your attraction to your partner actually increases.

I’ve experienced this in my own marriage, and I’ve seen it happen for countless couples I’ve worked with.

Remember, physical intimacy isn’t just about sex – it’s about feeling close, connected, and truly seen by your partner.

By addressing conflict avoidance, you’re not just improving your sex life; you’re deepening your entire relationship.
