Participating in Kate’s intimacy circle has empowered me to get outside of my head and face fears in the real world in real time. I've done extensive therapy and read many books to help me heal physical and emotional traumas that contributed to a full shutdown toward intimacy. While the books and therapy helped me heal, they were modalities that were private and felt secret. I couldn't apply them the few times I tried to date again. It was too big of a leap. The Intimacy Circle was a safe environment of unique struggles - I was vulnerable with strangers and witnessed the challenges others face. I needed the environment more than I realized as it was a healthy stop between private therapy and thinking about dating again.  Listening and being listened to in a group allowed me to peel layers back and be more gentle toward myself. Kate was incredibly creative fostering self-compassion toward intense and embarrassing feelings.
