The Intimacy Blueprint
Reconnection is built on four cornerstones that create safety, openness, and deeper bonds. Start with yourself—then bring that grounded presence to your partnership.
Trust
Rebuild trust in your body and your journey. Let go of old beliefs that no longer serve you.
Vulnerability
Safely share your needs and desires—first with yourself, then with your partner.
Communication
Learn to speak to yourself and your partner with clarity, choice, and compassion.
Intimacy
Create a warm, pressure‑free space where connection can grow at a pace that feels right.
Daily Practice: The Mirror Exercise
Vulnerable: Stand before a mirror (unclothed if safe) and gently notice your body.
Communicate: Breathe and affirm your worth and beauty—exactly as you are.
Trust: Release old beliefs; honor all you’ve done to get here.
Intimacy: Treat this as a daily act of self‑love and connection.
Why It Works
Consistent reflection shifts your inner dialogue toward self‑love and acceptance. As you feel safer in your body, sharing intimacy with your partner becomes easier and more fulfilling. When you’re ready, invite your partner to witness—and support—your practice.
