Intimacy Issues, Performance Enhancement Counsellors

Intimacy Issues, Performance Enhancement

Intimacy issues are common for people who fear vulnerability. Some people can become vulnerable in front of a few trusted friends, however, but when a relationship starts becoming too close, they feel suffocated. In this sense, the intimacy issues are seated in the fear of developing a deep and meaningful relationship with another person.

Two fears that are at the heart of intimacy issues, are the fear of abandonment (fearing the partner might leave them) and the fear of engulfment (fearing that they would lose themselves in a relationship), which sometimes co-exist. These fears, often rooted in childhood traumas, are often deeply entrenched in codependent adult relationships where they cause friction.

A therapist who works with people who have intimacy issues will first help you to learn to become comfortable with yourself and accept yourself for who you are. You will explore the complex past events that have created these intimacy issues and discover that those events don't have to cloud your present experiences.

This process is essential in discovering that rejection does not have to be a traumatic experience. Finally, you will learn how to set personal boundaries that will help you to avoid the fear of engulfment and to cope, should abandonment occur. While healing intimacy issues can be a challenging and somewhat painful task, the rewards are incredible.

Performance enhancement is a desire of many people in today's competitive world. From sport, to performing arts, business and personal growth, performance enhancement can help people to reach their goals and maximize their potential.

People who have difficulties staying focussed, or is easily distracted could benefit from performance enhancement therapy. Other issues include a fear of failure, or a fear of success, as well as anxiety ahead of a performant. People with performance issues will sometimes avoid pushing for what they truly desire and may be jealous of those who have achieved it already.

Performance enhancement therapy and coaching sometimes  addresses traumas that may be blocking the flow of success.

Performance enhancement therapies offer a profound tool set that can teach you how to mentally rehearse before performances to enhance confidence levels. Taking advantage of these skills will help you become the best performer, athlete or businessperson you can ever be.
