Psychotherapy, Intimacy, and the Sacred
2008-04-26 07:31:00
A GoodTherapy.org Featured Column written by John Rhead, Ph.D. Click here to contact John and/or see her GoodTherapy.org Profile Intimacy refers to being seen or known. One can be seen or known by oneself, by another being (human or otherwise) or by God. Individual psychotherapy usually focuses on knowing oneself better, which is to say becoming more intimate with one’s self. The usual term for this process is “insight.” Group psychotherapy addresses being better known by others, which of course results in greater knowing of oneself in the process. This is the place where the term “intimacy” is most commonly used. Relationships with non-humans in which one comes to be known can be as mundane as a relationship with a pet dog or cat and as elaborate as encounters with spirit guides in all kinds of animal forms while engaging in shamanic journeying. Finally one may experience being known by God, or the Sacred Mystery, through spiritual practices such as prayer and medit...
Intimacy In A Christian Marriage
2008-04-24 03:34:00
I felt like that I had to bring up this subject because of a jaw-dropping conversation I had with a fellow Christian online. I have no clue if this person is male or female, single or married. It saddens me when a fellow believer gets indoctrinated with beliefs that are not in the bible anywhere. This person expressed to me that ALL sexual contact is considered fornication and sin INCLUDING relations between a man and his wife. Yes you just read that statement correctly. This is not a typo or misprint.   This- person feels that intimacy is reserved for procreation only! Say it’s not so!  read more

Intimacy Issues
2008-02-22 05:26:00
After the beach, Emma and I shower and she hurries to the upper deck, telling me to wait. Charlie’s listening to his iPod, singing “Get Up, Stand Up,” off-key, while spooning garlicky stuff into mushrooms. Charlie claps my back, lights a joint, and hands it to me. “Borrowed a blender from Pascal. Mondo piña coladas before the tapas.”[Click here to read the first episode, or here to read the previous one.] The kitchen opens from a half-wall (for electricity) letting in a garden overlooking the bay. So Charlie and I lean against a counter covered with carefully arranged food, sharing   a smoke and staring at the horizon.  “Emma,” I call up to her, “what’re you doing?” That’s how uncomfortable Charlie makes me. Especially with all this effort going into his special dinner. Without Emma deflecting his energy, I edge away. “Give me five minutes,” she calls down. Holding in the smoke, I turn away. Exhaling, I close my eyes. Maybe if I get hi...

Acceptance and Intimacy
2008-02-16 03:36:00
Today while cruising one of the online dating sites I?m on, I came across a familiar face of someone I had met last year. We had a brief meeting, a few phone calls and emails, but he had decided he wasn?t ready to pursue a relationship (probably a nice way of saying I wasn?t the one). He went his way -- I went mine, and I noticed his profile disappeared off the net. Today I came upon him again, and wrote a quick email just to say hi. He wrote back a very heartfelt note that touched me, because I think it speaks volumes to what probably most of us feel as singles.He stated that everyone he?s met since then has wanted to change him, and secondly he misses physical intimacy. Well, he?s not alone. Two basic needs we all have -- acceptance for who we are and intimacy with another human being.My encouragement to him was not to settle for anything less. When we are in relationships where we have the expectation of changing someone into what we want, we do a great disservice to that person....

Intimacy: What is it anyway?
2008-01-04 02:00:00
Written by Julienne B. Derichs LCPC We all have a picture of intimacy. Passionate sex, long talks where you reveal your inner most thoughts, and sharing life’s experiences. Creating intimacy in a relationship can seem mysterious and illusive. Most people want it, but what is intimacy really? Intimacy is not a concrete concept; it is a quality in a relationship that takes on many forms. The common thread being feelings of closeness among partners in a relationship. Intimacy and healthy relationships go hand in hand, yet everyone has different ideas about how intimacy is created. (more…)

Longing for Intimacy
2007-12-09 09:16:00
www.christianphotos.netRight now when I?m writing this, the wind is roaring like a wild animal and the rain is tapping on my window, but neither of them can hurt me. It feels like it?s part of our genetic heritage to long for warmth and cosiness, for the sweet touch of intimacy. As I look back at my life, I can see this longing in everything I?ve done, in every step I?ve taken. The Webster dictionary defines ?intimacy? as ?a state of close relationship, familiarity?. Intimacy is usually between two persons, but it can go much further and deeper than that. Intimacy with yourself, with the world around you, with God. Feeling close to things and to beings. However, in order to feel close to something or someone, you need to feel that you are safe, that there is no threatening. Since we are so fragile and vulnerable, feeling safe is very important to us.There are three images that come to mind when I think of intimacy. An evening by the fire with someone you love. Lord Jesus sharing bre...

Tap into the healing environment of intimacy
2007-11-12 12:33:00
The most authentic human needs aren't materialistic. Human beings dream of finding meaning, of sensing identity and gaining insight into love. To be seen through loving eyes is to tap into a healing environment. How many people have you met who have never known what its like to feel love or compassion? Do you know?To be truly seen as we are, that is, to be loved and appreciated with all our idiosynchrasies and imperfections, is to be healed in a setting of growing intimacy. To feel comfortable confiding in someone you care about is to make yourself vulnerable. Yet, it also opens you up to deep healing. This offers you chances to share parts of yourself that will not only transform your soul through growing faith and trust, but they can also positively enrich and heal others. Why not start fresh? Lots of people say they seek love, but far more spend time hiding from it or dwelling on past hurts which they never permit to heal. You may know friends who dwell on stories of their...
