In this episode of Caitlin's Couch, Caitlin is joined by fellow Dating & Intimacy Coach & Creator of The Art of Feminine Seduction, Alana Mckenzie.

Alana shares her journey from dating failure and non-relationship, to healing her feminine energy.

She shared that what she finds for herself and her clients is that a powerful, long term, meaningful, committed relationship needs a balance of physical and emotional intimacy. This relationship will have both the excitement of physical intimacy, as well as the trust and grounding of emotional intimacy.

QUOTES

• “What was different was I felt like myself on the date, and I felt amazing.”
• “It took me a long time to find the right help.”
• “It was the moment that I woke up and went ‘oh this can go differently, than heartbreak and hurt and this sort of emotional roller coaster that I’ve previously been on’.”
• “It’s such a product of all of those different things that we experience through societal messages, family messages, being a woman, trauma… so many things that leave people to feel not enough. Once you’ve figured out relationships… all of those things that I thought that I wasn’t good enough for, I was objectifying myself.”
• “I was really thinking about ‘me, me, me’ and relationships are what happens between two people.”
• “It’s difficult to find attraction in stability. [My clients generally] find attraction in the chaos, but that’s just the beginning of the healing journey. And Ultimately that chaos becomes unattractive and stability becomes attractive.”
