Lopsided Intimacy
When we lack integration and lean too far into intimacy, then we can become emmeshed in our relationships, take the blame for problems when we shouldn't, and can feel pulled in every direction all the time.
Result: You feel stuck in the JUNGLE of Anxiety


Lopsided Independence
When we lack integration and lean too far into independence, then we can become isolated from our relationships, we tend to prioritize the head over the heart, and end up feeling disconnected from ourselves and others.
Result: You feel stuck in the DESERT of Avoidance
But Integrating the skills and capacities of INTIMACY and INDEPENDENCE will build Emotional & Spiritual Health
The one-of-a-kind ATTACHING TO GOD Summit is focused on helping us learn to do this.
Join us for 3 days of
- therapists and counselors,
- biblical scholars and theologians,
- and spiritual directors and pastors
to help us all INTEGRATE INTIMACY & INDEPENDENCE.
