Emotional Intimacy = Boundaries Protected
The Intimacy Paradox is Emotional Intimacy = Boundaries Protected. Violations of emotional distance occurs when intimacy is less than what is appropriate for a relationship. These violations are difficult to detect because the wounds are caused by what wasn't done to you. In other words, all too often we hold back what we really feel in a relationship. The person never gets to hear what is in our hearts because we are too afraid. We are afraid because we feel "if I share how I really feel this person might not feel the same or will reject me in some way." Or there are also times when we say to ourselves what he/she does not know will not hurt so I am not going to share this information. Really? Actually, when we with hold information is when we are violating boundaries - theirs and our own. Wouldn't you rather hear the truth and have someone to fully express themselves so you can see the truth of who they are? Wouldn't you want to be the truth of who you really are? When we are not ourselves we are hiding behind a veil and we are not being true to ourselves. Intimacy is about being in-to-ME-c. It's about being fully present with who you are at all times and sharing your inner most thoughts and feelings with the person you are in relationship with. This is the truth! So if you want to protect your boundaries be emotionally intimate with yourself and with the person you are in relationship with. This is what creates conscious spiritual relationships.
You are so loved, so love yourself just as much!
