How do you achieve it?
It depends on the loved one. lol There are many people I love that are far better kept at a distance.
I cherish intimacy with the people I love.
But reading your answer, I need to rethink - because there are people towards whom I feel great warmth and good will, and yet I will never have the chance to really know them well. Never thought of it like that before.
I love them all but emotional intimacy is something I struggle to have even with myself!
This seems to be common for many people. What do you think the blocks are?
upbringing and the feeling of not being good enough is blocked out with addictions to feeling good enough. The answer is to feel the original trauma of not being enough, release it and then stay emotionally honest which requires humility, vulnerability, much grief to be felt....know anyone willing to go there? so we choose partners who feed our addiction to feeling good enough for example "He treats me like a Princess" etc. this wears thin over time and we are left facing...not being good enough until we feel it
Wow!
I agree with the causes of the blocks and the ways to recover from them.
To me, the whole art of intimacy is emotional honesty, humility, and willingness to be vulnerable with the people we most love, but the rewards make it worth it a thousand times over.
To achieve that you and the other person need to be emotionally mature. also It just happens.But yes i do enjoy it when it truly happens
