Listen "Emotional Intimacy: Closely Connected"
Episode Synopsis
1. Emotional Intimacy is supported by vulnerability, trust, and empathy.
2. Feelings/emotions are not good or bad. Allow yourself to feel them, notice them, and be curious as to what they are calling your attention to.
3. Give yourself permission to feel even when it is not supported or validated by another person.
2. A great strategy to foster emotional intimacy is in Sue Johnson’s book Hold Me Tight (p.49).
She uses the acronym ARE (Accessibility-can I reach you-staying open even when emotions are difficult; Responsiveness-can I rely on you to respond to me; Engagement-do I know you will value me and stay close?).
