1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 — Most women in disconnected marriages have read the books, tried the conversations, and done their own healing work — and still can't reach him. In this episode, licensed clinical therapist and certified sex therapist Stephanie Larsen explains what's actually happening neurologically and relationally when a man emotionally shuts down — and why it almost always traces back to wiring built in childhood, not a failure of love. She breaks down the nervous system patterns that keep men emotionally unavailable, what women misread as rejection or indifference, and what creates the conditions for a man to come back online relationally. This conversation gives women a clinical map they've never had — and gives men a language for something they've never been able to name. Valeria interviews Stephanie Larsen — She is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist, and founder of the Men's Intimacy Blueprint, a clinical framework helping high-functioning married men rebuild emotional and sexual intimacy from the inside out.
