When to Call a Counselor for Intimacy Issues
Any inability to initiate or maintain a relationship can be classified as an intimacy disorder. Although such a problem does not seem like something which cannot be solved, you will definitely need the expert help of a couple or personal counselor to reach some progress.
If you have trouble getting or staying next to others, you may have some of the following problems:
1. Love avoidance – the fear of attaching yourself too much to another person and becoming even dependent on him/her. It is also called by psychologists the bachelor syndrome.
2. Love addiction – the fear of loneliness, or not being in a relationship. People suffering from this disorder often would stay in an unhealthy or abusive relationship just to feel that they are being a couple with someone.
3. Sexual anorexia – this is fear of sexual intimacy and obsessive avoidance of sex. Sex and intimacy are enemies for individuals who suffer from this disorder.
4. Sex addiction – Although many people consider this disorder a positive one, you should know that sex addicts are willing to risk their, career, friends, and even family for their “fix”.
