43. Intimacy vs. Isolation - Development beyond Freud pt.2

Intimacy vs. Isolation aka the young adulthood stage defined by Erikson. What does intimacy actually mean? Our first association often immediately goes to a strong and close physical relationship, to sex but isn’t intimacy so much more? What about intimacy with friends for example, where it’s more about learning to have genuine, authentic relationships? As we dove into this week’s topic of the podcast, continuing with Erik Erikson’s developmental phases, we started to get a bit confused and skeptical of the theory on this stage particularly. Maybe it’s also a resistance as we are currently in it lol. As always, it’s important to take all these theories with a grain of salt, consider them in the context of time in which they came up and generally not to get too caught up in it. Listen the full episode and see if and how you can apply it to your life, which we also tried to do. Also you will hear us getting more and more confused but stick to the end to hear Lola having an AHA-moment and figuring it all out 🤓✨
