This episode unpacks the fear of intimacy—why closeness can feel good yet terrifying at the same time. Colter, Cayla, and Lauren explore how fear of intimacy shows up in subtle and obvious ways, from ghosting and over-picking flaws to struggling with vulnerability in relationships. They also highlight how childhood experiences, trauma, and personal wiring shape this fear, and offer hope that with curiosity, compassion, and therapy, people can learn to build deeper connections.

They talk about <a href="http://relationshippod.com/">topics</a> such as: 
- Vulnerability vs. dumping 
- Signs of fear 
- Roots of fear
- Negotiation & sacrifice 
- Dating dynamics
- And more!
