The overall chief skill of intimacy is to tolerate anxiety, rather than freak out about it. This requires practice all on its own. You have to be willing to entertain possibilities that you haven’t entertained before. That willingness is what keeps a long term relationship very sexy and passionate, because you’re constantly stepping out of your comfort zone and trying new things.
– Dr. Bruce Chalmer

Find out in this week’s episode of The Learn to Love Podcast, where your host Zach Beach interviews the psychologist and author, Dr. Bruce Chalmer.
