Intimacy Within: Heal Attachment Wounds and Reconnect to Yourself

Betrayal Wounds More Than Trust—It Disrupts Intimacy at Its Core

Betrayal

When you’ve been betrayed by someone you trusted deeply, especially in an intimate relationship, the fallout affects more than your heart—it shakes your sense of safety, identity, and connection.

This is more than heartbreak. This is what trauma therapists call an attachment injury—a rupture in the way you relate to closeness, vulnerability, and even your own sense of worth.

And no… it doesn’t “just go away with time.”


Do You Recognize These Signs of an Attachment Injury?

You might notice yourself:

  • Over-explaining or staying quiet to avoid being misunderstood

  • Longing for closeness, but feeling terrified of being truly seen

  • Pulling away from intimacy, even when part of you wants connection

  • Or… feeling emotionally numb altogether

If any of this sounds familiar, nothing is wrong with you. These are the protective responses of a nervous system that has been wounded.

The good news? You can heal.

And that healing starts within.


Introducing: Intimacy Within – A Self-Paced Healing Experience

Intimacy Within is my trauma-informed, self-paced course designed to help you rebuild trust, connection, and safety from the inside out—by learning how to relate to yourself first.

Instead of chasing closeness with others or waiting until you’re “ready to date again,” this course walks you through the 7 levels of intimacy—with your own inner world.


The 7 Levels of Intimacy You’ll Explore

True healing means reconnecting at every level—not just emotionally, but cognitively, spiritually, and even sexually. Here’s what we’ll explore together:

🌀 Verbal – Learning to speak your truth, clearly and without apology
🌀 Cognitive – Understanding your patterns, triggers, and protective strategies
🌀 Emotional – Feeling and expressing your emotions safely and authentically
🌀 Psychological – Knowing your inner landscape and self-concept
🌀 Spiritual – Reconnecting to your purpose, values, and inner wisdom
🌀 Physical – Honoring your body’s signals, limits, and needs
🌀 Sexual – Reclaiming agency, pleasure, and worth after betrayal

These levels are not about “fixing” yourself to be ready for someone else—they’re about becoming whole with yourself, exactly as you are.


Why Healing from Within Matters

healing from within

Many of us were never taught how to build real, embodied intimacy. After betrayal or abuse, our nervous systems become wired for protection—not connection.

But you weren’t meant to live your life guarded, disconnected, or numb.

By learning to cultivate intimacy within, you build the foundation for secure attachment—not the kind built on people-pleasing or fear of abandonment, but the kind rooted in your truth, your needs, and your inner safety.


This Course Is for You If...

✅ You’ve experienced betrayal or emotional neglect
✅ You struggle with trust, vulnerability, or self-expression
✅ You’re not ready to “get back out there” but want to start healing
✅ You want a grounded, self-led path back to your wholeness

This is not a quick-fix solution.
This is real, somatic, layered work—designed for deep healing and lifelong change.

You Don’t Have to Be “Ready.” You Just Have to Be Willing.

There is no timeline for healing. But if your inner voice is whispering that it’s time to rebuild… this is your invitation.

Let Intimacy Within be your gentle guide back to yourself—your strength, your softness, your story.

This isn’t about preparing for another person.
It’s about coming home to you.

With love and belief in your healing,
