Continuing our Wellness Journey - Intimacy
This week our journey focuses on the power of Intimacy, the 10th of 12 keys to wellness drawn from the Wellness Inventory whole person assessment program. In our modern culture, the word "intimate" has informally become synonymous with sexual intercourse. What we mean here is more in line with the dictionary definition, relating to your deepest and private nature or a close, long-term association with another person. This can be a sexual, sensual, or platonic relationship. Learning to effectively deal with conflict, respect and assert boundaries, and to connect responsibly is essential to building the trust that is essential in intimacy. Studies have shown that intimacy is a major component in one's health and happiness.
