Most of us crave intimacy… but it can feel risky to be truly seen. Not just the curated, “best version” of ourselves, but the unfiltered, complicated, tender parts too. That’s where Into Me You See comes in — a way of thinking about intimacy as the courage to let someone in far enough to really know us.

When we open ourselves to these moments, we invite a deeper kind of connection: one built on trust, empathy, and safety. This isn’t about oversharing or rushing in; it’s about allowing ourselves to be known, little by little, in ways that feel right for us.

In therapy, we often explore the fears and protective patterns that can make intimacy feel hard. We also practice the skills that help us share ourselves in ways that deepen relationships rather than strain them. True intimacy grows at the pace of safety, not speed.

What helps you feel safe enough to let someone really see you?
