THE PARADOX of INTIMACY: That in order to connect, separateness is required. When two people morph into one, they are no longer separate, and can no longer connect with each other.

Intimacy, is the delicate dance between Separateness and Togetherness. Autonomy & Mutuality. You & Me & Us.

This week, I'm talking about EMBRACING space in Partnership (Separateness)

Why separateness is so essential in a long-term partnership.

What can happen to the Union in the absence of enough space and individuality.

Ways to communicate about space THROUGHOUT the process, so that your need to insert your independence doesn't become overwhelming.

And HOW you can cultivate a CULTURE of Space in our Relationships. How to talk about or ask for space.
