    Intimacy is one of the most important components of a healthy relationship. It’s much more than physical affection. Intimacy is a sense of closeness. It is an emotional connection that results in trust between two people.

    Intimacy counseling is therapy that helps couples build all of that; closeness, connection, and trust. A deeper and more fulfilling relationship is usually the result.

    A large part of intimacy counseling is helping couples identify and address the issues that are preventing them from feeling emotionally connected. As you’d guess, there are a wide variety of such issues including past experiences / traumas, communication patterns, a lack of true understanding of each other’s needs. Importantly, intimacy counseling helps couples learn to communicate better, explore emotions and vulnerabilities, and develop both trust and understanding.

    During intimacy counseling couples are encouraged to talk openly and honestly about their feelings, desires, fears, and concerns. It’s important to have an open and safe place where all can be heard and validated.

    Good communication is usually the most common barrier. Many couples struggle to express emotions, especially on difficult or sensitive topics. Intimacy counseling helps couples learn how to communicate in a way that is respectful, empathetic, and honest. This helps prevent misunderstandings and encourages greater intimacy.

    Trust is another common issue. Trust is critical and it can be difficult to rebuild once lost. Intimacy counseling can help couples identify the issues that are eroding trust and work together to rebuild it.

    The need for intimacy in a successful loving relationship cannot be overstated. And – for many couples – it’s a challenge too steep to climb alone. A deeper emotional connection provides the nutrient for future growth as a couple and it’s one that we all deserve.
