I had lunch today with my friend MB, who is visiting this week. I met him about six years ago when we worked for a software development company in the west end. He is kind of a granola type and it came as little surprise to me when he moved to the west coast three years ago. Despite moving away he seems to make it back quite frequently and I am as always enjoying his visit. We were talking about relationships, and about intimacy, when I remembered and recounted for him the definition of intimacy which my wonderful psychotherapist WC shared with me during one of my first sessions with him.
Intimacy, he said, is the willingness to be close enough to another person to be vulnerable to being changed by him or her.
