Eventually, we see that the friends we make in Al-Anon can become our confidants and strong supporters. And that's what, if you, I don't want to say come to know yourself, because I don't necessarily think it's an analytical process, I think it's much more of a physical process, and I think the more in which you experience intimacy with yourself, intimacy with your own fear, intimacy with your own discomfort and dissonance and transformations.
Feeling disconnected from those you love? Mara and Spencer dive into the complexities of intimacy in episode 88 of The Recovery Show. They explore what it means to be truly close to someone, sharing secrets and dreams, and how barriers like fear and discomfort can hinder these connections. Drawing from their personal experiences, they highlight the significance of vulnerability and self-care in fostering intimate relationships. Mara and Spencer emphasize that intimacy starts with oneself.
They discuss how practicing self-love and facing one's own fears can pave the way for deeper connections with others.

This episode offers practical tools and heartfelt stories that can help anyone struggling with intimacy issues.
Whether you're looking to improve your relationship with yourself or others, Mara and Spencer's insights provide a roadmap to a more connected life.
