There's something rather curious and ironic about love.
We all say we want it; we search for it. We wait for it. We spend our lives dreaming of love and the day it will arrive… but, once it does, fear overwhelms us.
The fear of being vulnerable.
The fear of losing our freedom.
The fear of someone coming along to whom we give our heart and, with it, the possibility of being truly hurt and wounded.

The problem is that there's nothing more opposed to love than fear. And that love implies opening ourselves up to the possibility of feeling pain.
This week, Efrén Martínez joins "I Can Be Anyone"; psychologist, writer, and one of the most important voices today when it comes to discussing relationships, emotional responsibility, and personal growth.
Efrén is here to confront us with questions we're terrified to ask ourselves; to invite us to go to places we normally run from... but, above all, to challenge all those beliefs and feelings we've inherited, learned, and built about what it means to truly love.

In this conversation we talk about:
◼️ Fear of love and commitment
◼️ The difference between infatuation and love
◼️ Why do we run away when a relationship starts to feel real?

◼️ Emotional responsibility towards your partner
◼️ Patterns, wounds, and fears we unconsciously bring to relationships
◼️ Emotional intimacy and vulnerability in relationships
◼️ Sex, friendship, chemistry, and complicity: what attributes should a couple have?

◼️ Self-deception and lies we often tell ourselves in a relationship
◼️ How our wounds influence the way we love
