While we are deep in the separation demanded by the social distancing and shelter in place measures of COVID-19, intimacy is being challenged right down to its core. In this two-part podcast, Kimberly takes a look the role of intimacy in our lives, how our defenses can affect the level of intimacy we experience, and how to cultivate more consistent intimacy through self-examination, presence and vulnerability.

In Part Two, Kimberly speaks about how a careful examination of our personal defense mechanisms is imperative for the most healthy experience of intimacy.
