We support individuals & families to overcome defenses to intimacy.

01/01/2026

As a new year begins, we want to offer something simple:

You don’t need to rush.
You don’t need resolutions to be worthy of change.
You don’t need clarity to be grounded.

This year doesn’t have to start loud or certain. It can begin with honesty, care, and self-trust.

We’re here for the slow work, the real work, and the human work, whenever you’re ready.❤️

The start of a new year often brings pressure to reinvent or resolve.🌟

But healing doesn’t require a new version of you.
It begins with honesty, awareness, and self-compassion.

There is no timeline you need to follow. Beginning can be quiet.

12/28/2025

This space between holidays can feel quiet, or heavy, or strangely emotional.

As the year begins to loosen its grip, you may notice what you’re ready to release, and what still needs tenderness.

There is no pressure to resolve or redefine anything today.
Noticing what you no longer want to carry is enough.

Reflection doesn’t require answers. It simply invites honesty.🌟

12/26/2025

Ending the week doesn’t have to mean evaluating or fixing.

It can simply be noticing.
What felt steady?
What felt heavy?

Your awareness is a form of care and for today, it’s enough.🫶🏻

Boundaries often feel harder during the holidays and there’s a reason for that.

When this happens, your nervous system may respond before your logic has a chance to catch up.

Struggling with boundaries doesn’t mean you’re failing or going backward.
It means your body is responding to familiar patterns and emotional memory.

Healthy intimacy isn’t about forcing closeness.
It’s about space, choice, and consent, even with the people we love.

12/21/2025

The holidays often come with an expectation of gratitude, joy, and togetherness. But grounding yourself doesn’t require forcing a feeling that isn’t there.

It’s okay to be neutral.
It’s okay to be tired.
It’s okay to simply be present.

Your emotional honesty matters more than performing the season.💙

Intimacy is more than physical connection.

It’s emotional safety, understanding, and being seen for who you truly are. At Center for Intimacy Recovery, we honor that every person’s journey is unique and healing begins with depth, not pressure.

Connection plays a powerful role in emotional healing. Safe relationships create space for awareness, compassion, and change.

12/15/2025

Sundays invite us to slow down and check in with what’s happening beneath the surface.

Intimacy isn’t only about closeness with others. It’s about the relationship we have with our own emotions, boundaries, and needs. When we allow ourselves to notice without judgment, we create space for deeper connection, with ourselves and with those we love.

Take today as a gentle pause. There’s no rush to fix, perform, or explain. Awareness is enough.

12/11/2025

What we call “commitment issues” or “high standards” is often a nervous system trying to stay safe.

Intimacy fears are rarely about not wanting connection, they’re about not feeling safe enough for it yet.

You’re not difficult. You’re protected.💙

12/09/2025

Intimacy isn’t instant. It’s a slow, steady process of letting ourselves be seen, first by ourselves, then by the people we trust.

This carousel explains what intimacy looks like, what gets in the way, and how healing helps us build deeper, safer connection.

If intimacy has felt confusing or out of reach, you’re not alone. It’s something we learn, practice, and grow into over time.

If you’re ready to explore this work with support, contact us at the Center for Intimacy Recovery.💙

12/08/2025

Intimacy isn’t created by effort alone, it’s created by safety.💙
When your body feels regulated, respected, and emotionally held, it naturally opens. When it doesn’t, it shuts down or guards itself.

This isn’t a flaw, it’s a protective response.Healing is learning the difference between relationships that activate your defenses and those that support your safety.
