Resolving Problems with Intimacy and Relationship Anxiety

Problems developing relationships and anxiety regarding intimacy are quite common. The process of getting close, developing intimacy - both emotional and physical - can be overwhelming for individuals of all ages with social/performance anxiety.

Our internet culture has greatly "enabled" this problem. Social anxiety sufferers often use the internet at the expense of healthy socialization. The internet reinforces avoidant personality characteristics and behavior as users experience less potential for being evaluated or scrutinized.

Pharmaceutical marketing has further enabled the development of our synthetic society by medicalizing what all too often are emotional/psychological problems. For example, a huge percentage of “erectile dysfunction” and other sexually based challenges are really anxiety/performance- based.

Consider the following patient profiles:

Brian was an attractive 35-year-old, and a relatively successful engineer. He was an “involuntary virgin” who spent 15-20 hours a week having cyber-sex at the expense of developing a real relationship. Doris was a 36-year-old single, attractive, straight woman with a Masters' degree, who worked in her family business. She had never experienced intimacy with a member of the opposite sex. Shelly was a 16-year-old honor roll student with absolutely no true friends. Ed was a 19-year-old who stayed in his room during his first semester at college, avoiding social interaction at all costs, while dependent on the internet. Ron was 45 and the chief financial officer for a mid-sized corporation. He was depressed due to his intimacy problem of “premature ejaculation”. Don was a 28-year-old bodybuilder who could charm women socially, but had never experienced intercourse because of anxiety-based “erectile dysfunction”. There are countless more stories.
