People think that intimacy is about sex. But intimacy is about truth. When you realize that you can tell someone your truth, when you can show yourself to them, when you stand in front of them and their response is “you’re safe with me” — that’s intimacy.
— Taylor Jenkins Reid (American essayist and novelist best known for her novel The Seven Husbands).
My favourite therapist talks a lot about “having your own back” which means being honest with ourselves first and foremost. From there, we can be honest with others and set meaningful boundaries. Just sayin’ :) Hugs. XO
