"Creating an Intimacy Gram for Greater Self-Awareness"

- Ken F.

 

The intimacy gram is a powerful tool that helps you take a symbolic snapshot of where you are at present in your life; revealing the balance/imbalances that exist and give us direction in creating a healthier balance. Intimacy is defined in this workshop, and creates the foundation for this life changing tool. The intimacy  gram maps the realms in your life, the people who fill these realms, and the closeness and quality of these relationships. With this information drafted on a single piece of paper, it is easy to spot deficits and imbalances, giving one direction in which to grow. From an ACA point of view, you can see influences of past relationships on current people in your life and ongoing patterns of dysfunctional relationships.
