The Mormon Therapist
Protection, although often loving, is not intimacy. It may be a part of intimacy – but more often than not, it gets in the way of it.“I try to protect you from the parts of me that might hurt you.”
Or “I try to protect myself from the parts of you that hurt me.”
When, in reality, intimacy is about the willingness to face those parts we fear the most.
