To see my post about the different types of intimacy click here:
The Different Types of Intimacy
•Emotional intimacy: Sharing deep thoughts and feelings, and feeling safe to share them.
•Intellectual intimacy: Exchanging ideas, opinions and expressing your interests (and it feels comfortable to do so).
•Physical intimacy: Physically showing affection. (This can be anything from holding hands to cuddling to sex)
•Experiential Intimacy: Sharing an experience with someone. (Ex: going for a walk, watching your favorite show together)
•Spiritual Intimacy: Ability to comfortably discuss spiritual/religious beliefs and respecting the other person and their beliefs. You do not have to have the same beliefs as the other person, but discussing spirituality can allow people to understand each other better.
