Many couples see intimacy as a "nice to have" in relationships. It's sweet when it's there, but not essential. This is especially true after the honeymoon period wears off. As a sex therapist and psychotherapist with over two decades of experience, I'm here to tell you that's wrong.
Intimacy is the heartbeat of a thriving relationship. When intimacy breaks down, it doesn't just affect your connection with a partner, it can impact your career, friendships, and physical health. It influences how you lead, communicate, make decisions, and feel about yourself. Clients often come to therapy for stress, anxiety, or performance issues at work, only for us to uncover intimacy gaps as the deeper source of misalignment.
Intimacy, to bust another myth, is more than just getting laid or knowing the right positions. It's about being open, honest, vulnerable, and real and allowing someone else to be the same with you.
