Ep 57: Intimacy: Why So Scary?

Listen Later

Why are we so resistant to deeper intimacy whether emotional, mental, physical, or spiritual? Many standards that are set, for example socially, culturally, and gender-wise, add layers to how we relate to ourselves and each other. More separation leads to less intimacy. Less intimacy is often expressed as misunderstandings, misalignment, and generally less connection. Jeff and Tatsu discuss some nuances of intimacy.


  • At the core of intimacy is owning and sharing truth
  • Intimacy is risky
  • Cultivating intimacy with yourself first
  • It is what it is
  • Accepting and acknowledging my feelings and thoughts
  • Staying curious rather than jumping to judgment
  • Separation vs. Intelligence
  • Lack of inner awareness and false self
