True intimacy starts when we acknowledge and accept both our polished public selves and the hidden parts we may be reluctant to face.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) provides a framework to explore the various “parts” of our personality, including those that are exiled due to childhood experiences.
While the initial excitement of a new relationship can be exhilarating, sustainable intimacy is built on vulnerability, honesty, and a deep understanding of oneself.
Labels such as “sex addiction” or “narcissist” can oversimplify complex human behaviors; a nuanced approach is needed to understand underlying issues.
Early experiences of rejection and embarrassment help build the resilience needed to navigate deeper relationships and develop a healthy, enduring connection.
Our sexual behaviors and relationship dynamics are heavily influenced by societal norms and personal values, which can complicate how we view our actions and needs.
