Understanding the Four Types of Intimacy and How They Impact Your Health

It’s February, and around here that means celebrating Black History Month, Aquarius season, and (at least in this episode) very reluctantly love.If you’ve been listening to Balanced Black Girl for a while, you know I loathe talking about modern dating and the way relationships are discussed online right now. However, we can’t talk about living a healthy lifestyle without talking about building and maintaining healthy relationships.Join me in this safe container, free from discussions about who’s fixing whose plate, to explore the connections between relationships and our wellbeing.I also talk about…
The hurtful marketing strategy that relationship content thrives on
Recognizing connection as a skill
Why relationships are so important to happy, healthy lives
Emotional intimacy, physical intimacy, mental intimacy, and spiritual intimacy
The value in not being defensive to questioning
Resources:
Physical Contact and Loneliness: Being Touched Reduces Perceptions of Loneliness
Spiritual Intimacy: Talking as "Soul Mates"
Strengthen relationships for longer, healthier life
