The Keys to Emotional Healing for Healthy Relationships with Diana Richardson

Diana Richardson on Emotional Healing & Intimacy: Conscious Love, Awareness & the Inner Landscape of Relationship

In this heartfelt episode, we welcome back Diana Richardson, author of Tantric Love: Feeling vs. Emotion and a pioneer of the Slow Sex movement, to explore how emotional awareness shapes the quality of our relationships.

Diana shares how our emotional patterns - especially the unconscious ones - can block the intimacy we long for. She invites us to consider the subtle difference between feelings and emotions, how reactive emotional states like irritation or impatience arise, and how healing these responses leads to deeper connection and authentic love.

We explore:

• The difference between emotional reactivity and conscious feeling
• How low-grade emotions disrupt connection
• Practical tools for emotional responsibility and repair
• How presence and vulnerability open the heart
• The link between emotional integration and sexual expression
• Healing the past to free the present

Diana also speaks to the healing power of taking responsibility, resolving conflict from the inside out, and seeing love not as something we get, but as something we are. Her insights offer a grounded pathway toward emotional freedom, conscious communication, and soulful intimacy.
