One of the most difficult things for people in recovery from sex and/or love addiction is discovering what intimacy really means. The term intimacy refers to your ability to be close and have a deep, honest rapport with another person. These 4 Cornerstones of Intimacy are here to help conceptualize what it means to be truly intimate. It is for those in recovery from sex/love addiction and for those looking to deepen their relationship with their loved ones. #dralexkatehakis #centerforhealthysexla #sexaddictionla #sexaddiction #loveaddiction #sexaddictionrecovery #loveaddictionrecovery #slaa # intimacy #womensintimacy #mensintimacy #healthysexuality #healthyrelationships #relationships #dating #eroticintelligence #fourcornerstonesofintimacy

It is the 10th year anniversary of Erotic Intelligence People toss around the word "intimacy" euphemistically to mean sex, but it goes beyond experiencing the results of the sexual act. Throughout Erotic Intelligence, Alex makes it clear that the term "intimacy" refers to your ability to be close and have a deep, honest rapport with another person. Recovering sex addicts and their partners are rarely led through a structured plan to help restore their sexual lives. Alex wrot...e this book because she wanted to provide specific steps for sexually sober sex addicts and their partners to achieve 2 key goals that go hand in hand: 1) enjoying fulfilling, exciting, hot sex, and 2) building a strong, spiritual, and supportive relationship! To those that have benefited from this book and have restored their sense of dignity and rightful place in the world, I applaud you loudly! https://www.amazon.com/Erotic-Intelligence-Igniting-Reco//
