I reread your previous post about the dance of intimacy. It's a word that I wouldn't use for my therapy probably because it's not the kind of relationship I find easy to have with a man, especially my father, my son or my friends, let alone my shrink.
Etymology: from Latin intimus
1 a : INTRINSIC, ESSENTIAL b : belonging to or characterizing one's deepest nature
2 : marked by very close association, contact, or familiarity <intimate knowledge of the law>
3 a : marked by a warm friendship developing through long association b : suggesting informal warmth or privacy <intimate clubs>
4 : of a very personal or private natureSo looking at the definition, intimacy seems the perfect word in this case. Perhaps I should explore more the barriers that keep me on the side watching others sway with the music.
