How Trauma Affects Men's Intimate Relationships

This is a positive resource for men (or women concerned about a man) who are having trouble with intimacy of any kind. That includes emotional or physical intimacy in both romantic relationships, platonic friendships, professional partnerships and familial relations.

Let's Start by defining Trauma:

Trauma is the response to a deeply distressing, disturbing event that overwhelms one's ability to cope. It causes feelings of helplessness, diminishes your sense of self and your ability to feel a full range of emotions and experiences.

Before we get into the physical components, take a moment to consider the last time you felt social anxiety around opening up or being vulnerable...

Psychological Causes of Dysfunction:

- Concern about sexual performance

- Marital or relationship problems

- Depression, feelings of guilt

- Effects of past sexual trauma

- Work-related stress and anxiety

A lot of men that deal with dysfunction turn to male enhancement pills. But, contrary to popular belief, pills may not be the solution. Especially when you're doing it to avoid relationship problems.

So, how do we overcome the psychological causes of dysfunction listed above?

- Meditation

- Therapy / coaching

- Guided imagery

- Trust in your partner

If you are dealing with dysfunction, it's important that you look past whatever stigma/ judgement you think comes with it and work on yourself because the indirect affects of dysfunction are:

- Social opinions

- Substance abuse

- Misdirects for profit

- Self-esteem

- Dependencies

- Emotional abuse

You never have to go through something like this alone. It's important to have someone in your inner-circle that you can turn to.

I'm speaking from personal experience, I've been there. I went through 6+ years of Psychological Trauma induced Dysfunction of various varieties. But, with the right tools I have overcome this in both single and monogamous relationships and so can you.
