Unlocking Radical Intimacy: Zoe Kors on Healing Through Connection

Intimacy is such a key part of healing from trauma and addiction. The more we can be intimate, the more we can heal, and the more we can walk through our suffering. Ultimately, we realize we're not alone.
What if the key to healing from trauma and addiction lies in deep, meaningful connections? In this episode of 'The Addicted Mind Podcast', host Duane Osterlind chats with Zoe Kors, a sex and intimacy coach and author of 'Radical Intimacy: Cultivate the Deeply Connected Relationships You Desire and Deserve'. Zoe shares her journey and insights on how radical intimacy can be a powerful tool for recovery.
She introduces the concept of radical intimacy, which involves connecting deeply with ourselves, others, and the world around us. By understanding and practicing physical, emotional, and spiritual intimacy, we can create stronger bonds and foster healing. Zoe also unveils the radical intimacy matrix, a practical roadmap that guides individuals through nine areas of opportunity to cultivate deeper connections.
Emphasizing the importance of mindfulness, she explains how being present in the moment can help us navigate our emotions and experiences more effectively. Drawing inspiration from philosopher Alan Watts, Zoe highlights the value of witness consciousness—being both an active participant and an observer in our experiences. This episode is a treasure trove of wisdom for anyone looking to heal from addiction and trauma through the power of connection.
