The fear of intimacy is something that can be overcome. It tends to arise when people either fear rejection and/or fear being engulfed and controlled by another person. So being afraid of intimacy is really the fear of having our feelings hurt. These are normal emotions and most of us will have experienced them to a greater or lesser extent in our relationships with others whether they be parents, siblings or partners. Sometimes we inadvertently blow these feelings out of proportion and when we do we damage our ability both to mature emotionally and to relate in a deeper emotional way with others. Some will leave a relationship rather than risk these ‘bad’ feelings. For many, this fear creates behaviours that keep others at a distance and the relationship either becomes stale and/or is ended by their partner.
I think I mayhave a phobia as I am fearful of intimacy. I have been on my own for four years after ending a distrustful relationship with a man who was a commitment phobic and compulsive liar. I was badly hurt and is has taken a long time to heal. However I am now fearful if another relationship. I tend to run for the hills when a man shows any interest in me. Although I long for love I feel safe when I am alone as I am in control. I start to panic if I think someone wants to get closer. I was married for 18 years I have a sin aged 30 and I got divorced in 2001. I now know these feelings are not relational,and I need help . Can you help Meir advise where I can get therapy. I live in Newcastle upon Tyne. Thank you
