Is Vulnerability OK?

Q: I’m in a new relationship with a wonderful person, yet I feel vulnerable. Is this ok?

A: Yes! Being vulnerable can be a very sexy thing in a relationship. Vulnerability is your willingness to be completely open and honest, and that can feel scary. When you feel a bit scared, remember that by your courage and bravery to be vulnerable, yet you are opening yourself up while letting your guard down, and this is ultimately a very empowering experience.

When you can share your story to your partner from a space of vulnerability, you are opening yourself up to build trust in the relationship, the foundation of every coupleship.

Be your authentic self and this will become known and attractive to your partner. When you are vulnerable you surrender your control and allow your partner to become closer to you, this opens up both hearts to feel comfortable in being expressive without fear of being discarded or devalued.

This only increases intimacy. 
Continue to strengthen your feelings of vulnerability so you can continue to share your perspective and know this will strengthen your relationship.
