Phase 1 – The Stuck Woman
For the Stuck Woman, self-intimacy looks like disconnection and self-doubt. Her intimacy with others looks like clinging to the wrong people or pushing them away out of fear. She feels trapped in repeating cycles, struggling with self-worth and unhealthy attachments. She may chase unavailable people or avoid intimacy out of fear.
The Stuck Woman feels lost in love and within herself. She often repeats the same painful cycles — chasing unavailable people, avoiding commitment, or numbing out when she feels lonely. Relationships leave her drained, and when she’s alone, she questions her worth. Deep down, she aches for love but fears she may never find it.
