What if the pain in your marriage isn’t from fights, cheating, or resentment—but from a hidden condition you’ve never heard of? In this powerful episode, Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen sit down with renowned sex therapist Dr. Doug Weiss to explore Intimacy Anorexia—a silent relationship killer that affects more couples than you might think. Discover the subtle signs, the root causes (including trauma and neglect), and how healing is possible. If you feel more like roommates than soulmates, don’t miss this provocative conversation.
