San Diego Therapist Specialties:
Intimacy Counseling, Therapy
and Treatment
The need for interpersonal intimacy represents the universal drive in human beings to reach beyond the self to end isolation. Intimacy with another is the most fundamental of our passions beyond mere survival and is the foundation of all human interaction. Yet, in our relationships, we stumble towards this goal of union without understanding where the course begins or ends.
The key to intimacy in relationships is to create a context of appreciation and acceptance so both persons feel safe to relax into themselves. Dropping the habits that protect and separate us allows us the clarity and openness to see ourselves through the eyes of another. With intention, trust, and guidance, we can release the constricted flow of love and pleasure that lies beneath our isolation.
Some aspects of intimacy training and re-connection involve discovering cross-gender communication, understanding male-female dynamics, practicing emotional intelligence and honesty, enhancing sexuality and physical affection, balancing power roles and behavior, developing goodwill and courtesy, and learning strategies for dealing with the non-resolvable issues that arise in every relationship. If you are seeking the satisfaction that comes from enhancing intimacy in your relationship, we encourage you to call a specialist today.
