Description

When you think of intimacy, what comes to mind?

Maybe you think about a passionate kiss, or getting frisky with a partner in the bedroom.

But what if we told you there were other ways to cultivate intimacy that didn't involve sex? 

This week, we are revisiting a community favorite on Get Naked with Dr. Kate, where Dr. Kate explores the multifaceted definitions of intimacy with Doc Erica Holmes.

The two unpack a holistic definition of intimacy, walk listeners through a few activities that can help couples connect, and explore how we as a society can make our way to valuing true intimacy.

Doc Erica is a licensed clinical psychologist, educator, trainer, community consultant and author in the greater Los Angeles area. Be sure to check out Erica's latest book, Intimacy Sex: 180 Activities to Help Couples Connect.
