Real intimacy comes through vulnerability
Want real intimacy?
Learn to be vulnerable... Its a super power!
To wage your own comfort to be fully accepted and seen
To speak your fears, desires, longings
No masks, no titles, no filters
Just a raw, open heart, willing to risk it all
It is bold. It is cathartic. It moves mountains.
Trust me, I know it's not easy. It wasn't always this way for me...
I used to silence myself. I'd shrink to fit in. I'd be a "good girl" and keep the peace.
My throat would literally ache when I was suppressing my truth. It felt like it couldn't breathe.
Now when that feeling happens, I know I need to speak up. Say what needs to be said. Ask for what I need. Dare to be witnessed in my emotional mess.
It's not easy. It took me years to develop the skills.
But I'll tell you this, vulnerability and transparency will deepen your connection and intimacy with the person you share it with... If they can receive you in it... And that in itself is a whole other conversation for another post 😉
Start small, with someone you trust. Begin with one share. Speak out loud how uncomfortable or difficult it is. Let your truth come forward. Breathe before speaking. Drop into your heart. Speak from there. The more you do it, the more you'll want to do it all the time. It's still uncomfortable every time for me, but the aftermath... Oh it's so beautiful once you've shared.
If you want to start with me, feel free to DM me something you've only ever thought about inside and wouldn't dare to say out loud. I'll hold space for your vulnerability and keep whatever you share safe within my heart.
