More Intimacy in Tampa
Please cancel your plans to escape to some distant island and let’s talk about it. Tough times with emotional intimacy affect us all. With daily stressors, such as:
Busy schedules
Being stuck in our own head
Physical distance
And more (on tests, when lost would you choose “D” 🤔)
Life is full of changes and that alone is enough to drain intimacy in a relationship!
Intimacy is Emotional Chemistry
Emotional intimacy is a two-way street. There is much you can do but understand that you can’t do it alone.
Research says that satisfying romantic partnerships lead to healthier and happier lives. (Dr. Sharron Hinchliff and Merryn Gott, 2004).
Working together to boost emotional intimacy improves the well-being of both partners. Who are then available to be present in the here and now.
Where you can find intimacy and more creative, deviant sex.
Emotional intimacy is about the connection, empathy, compassion, and respect for your partner. Emotional intimacy isn’t physical touch, but you will get there.
Having sexual intimacy minus emotional intimacy is empty for some. It can lead to insecurity and detachment. Doesn’t go to say we’re all made equal, and no judgement on how we choose to govern our bodies.
Emotional intimacy is like looking into the soul of your partner. You feel love all over your body. You understand each other on a deep level. This keeps you grounded and glued together in times of passion.
What Emotional Intimacy Looks Like
Emotional intimacy has many faces and shows up in different ways in a relationship.
Emotional Intimacy is…
Deep intentional and meaningful conversations that express our authentic selves
Helping each other feel seen and validated by talking about life’s daily experiences
Making tailored plans that are important to both partners
Voicing our needs, while outside of our comfort zones when supporting our partner
Creating emotional connection takes time and effort. Having strong connections with partners brings happiness, support, and having more fulfilled sex.
Feeling Seen Tips
Spend quality time together. Pick the activity, just leave the cell phone in your pocket.
Do things you both enjoy. This helps you to bond over shared interests and experiences.
Be open to new experiences. Trying new things together can help you learn more about each other and build stronger bonds.
Use NVC. Meaning being able to share your feelings and needs, with respect. Also to listen and understand the other person's point of view.
Talk during sex. Try using L.I.P.S. and being attentive to your partners needs and feelings.
Be willing to compromise. No two people are exactly alike.

If a more connected sex is what you’re looking for, are you in your head or in your body during sex? Are you both conveying what comes up for you during sex or evading and pushing through it? Slowly, Gently.
