7.  True intimacy only arises when we have a healthy relationship with ourselves.

True intimacy arises only when someone is in a healthy relationship with themselves. This process allows one to recognize their own needs and honor them, without feeling an urgency to have these needs provided by a significant other. Thus, when this person does connect to another, the relationship can proceed without the burden of early childhood needs.

In my healing practice I have seen old relationships change and new relationships emerge with different characteristics springing out of a new paradigm. It is through this process that one can be set free to embrace their self, as a whole independent being, ready to engage in relationship in healthier and more fulfilling ways.
