17: Intimacy 101
Let’s talk about sex! …and intimacy.
Even though a lot of people consider intimacy to be solely about sex, there is so much more to it than that. Kasey and Kelsey explore the multifaceted nature of intimacy and how it goes way beyond the physical connection.
Drawing from the book "Hold Me Tight" by Sue Johnson, Kasey explains that relationships are emotional bonds built on emotional connection and compassion, which cannot be negotiated or bargained for. Learn how prioritizing emotional safety, embracing vulnerability, and addressing shame and guilt can cultivate a more intimate connection with your partner. By understanding each other's needs, desires, and love languages, you can create a foundation for lasting and fulfilling intimacy!
