Psychological Intimacy   One of life's major challenges can be developing a true state of psychological intimacy with ourselves and others.  Much of our time is usually framed so that we are emotionally safe and comfortable with any psychological self-disclosure or connection.     Our interactions are usually scripted over the years and we practice them with little or no surprise from ourselves or others.  We tend to be careful in allowing ourselves to be emotionally vulnerable and to encourage others to be cautious in sharing their psychological nudity with us.    Psychological intimacy asks us to strive for openness, honesty, and trustfulness in some meaningful degree as we connect with the people in our lives.
