“Radical Intimacy” by Zoë Kors

Written by

‘Radical’ is a preceding
Avoid using ‘baby steps’ as an excuse or weapon
It is okay to take “‘adult steps” too
The Mother pulls us through the keyhole
- “Not everything you let go of needs to have claw marks.”
- (Learn to be okay with letting things go)
Unaddressed issues come out sideways
Denial, deflection, distraction
“The elephant did not just show up. You’ve been feeding and watering it for years.”
“Pain shopping” by following exes on social media
Do not try to fix what cannot be fixed
Use a third person narratives to recognize things without personalizing them
“If there are feelings in the room, someone has to feel them.”
If you cannot trust your body, then the act of living is unsafe and that is traumatic
“How you do anything is how you do everything… except in bed.”
Love is a state of being, not an emotion
Energetic intimacy
- Presence
- Humility
- Curiosity
Be a thread (distinct but integrated) not an egg (integrated and indistinct)
