Lena: Hey everyone, welcome back to another personalized episode from BeFreed-I'm Lena, and I'm here with my co-host Eli, and we are genuinely excited to dive deep into something really important today.
Eli: Absolutely, Lena! And you know what? This is exactly the kind of conversation that can transform relationships. We're talking about something so many couples struggle with but rarely discuss openly-how to rebuild positive associations around intimacy when past hurt has created barriers.
Lena: Right, and what makes this particularly challenging is that we're dealing with emotional memory here. When someone has been hurt or rejected repeatedly, their body and mind create protective mechanisms that can be really hard to overcome.
