From Connection to Defense: The Architecture of the Emotional Fortress
The Shift: From Connection to Defense You’ve met someone new. On paper, they are exactly what you’ve been looking for.

The Psychology of Self-Sabotage: Why We Run From Real Intimacy
The Instinct to Run You say you want love – a real love. The kind that makes your chest rise with hope and your eyes soften with trust. The kind that feels like home in someone else’s presence.

The Map to Who You Really Are What if the very thing you’re most ashamed of is the key to understanding who you really are? You hide it. You suppress it. You try to fight it.

The Silent War Inside You: Why You Fear Your Own Potential
