Introduction

As you know, the world is filled with men who struggle to connect emotionally, leaving many women feeling disappointed in relationships. But why are some men like this? What happened that they cannot emotionally engage in a healthy way? Today, Dr. Eddie Capparucci, talks about what he believes is going on inside of men who suufer from sexual compulsivity or with men who are in recovery but havin't work out their deeper issues.The reason goes back to a lack of nurturing required in the early stages of childhood development, where kids learn to attune, regulate emotions, trust, be empathic, and self-soothe. His new book, entitled "Why Men Struggle to Love: Overcoming Relational Blind Spots"explains how men who possess low emotional IQs struggle to thrive in relationships and how they can change. It also shows how they may be prone to addictive behaviors such as sex and addictions.   Dr. Eddie Capparucci, LPC, C-CSAS, specializes in the treatment of sex/ addiction. He is the creator of the Inner Model for treating this disorder and the author of the popular book “Going Deeper: How the Inner Child Impacts Your Sexual Addiction.” I refer so many men to Dr. C. because he helps them understand their core wounds and attach more successfully to their wives!
