Intimate People, Intimate Couples©
Relationships dominate our lives – true from birth until this exact moment – and how we engage, connect, develop, integrate, operate. and maintain our relationships have a direct bearing our how we experience life – generally satisfying or with degrees of angst. Relationships exi st at the front end of our “outer experience,” the place where our bodies and our psyche engage and live in the world. Yet, our relationships often play havoc with our inner experience – that “inner dialogue” that often drives us to distraction, if not to a coping behavior such as an addiction, obsession-compulsion, or a spiritual program (or even a psychotherapist!). If relationships are hard work, intimacy is much more difficult to achieve. Intimacy is the results of all the hard work relationships include – friendship, trust, safety, revelation, vulnerability, love, and time. Intimacy is not about sex (sorry to disappoint all of you guys out there) but is about evolution – of development and growth of “you” as a person and the “both of you” as a relationship.

basic relationship skills can be learned and improved. More importantly,
intimacy can be learned and improved, too. Today’s blog is a discussion on
the elements of the Intimacy Hierarchy™, the basis of my program called
“Intimate Person, Intimate People™.” The Hierarchy™ begins with the To print a copy of the Hierarchy™ and a brief discussion of each element, CLICK HERE.
