The Chair of Intimacy is born out of a painful break-up Ano went through in March, 2026. It was written in two weeks as a passionate ritual to make sense of not only this particular break-up, but of all the break-ups and breakdowns of relationship Ano has witnessed. It contains hard won clarity about what internal and external forces can easily pull intimacies apart and how to instead navigate through and with these forces and sustain and strengthen intimacy. It expresses a balanced and holistic approach that is practically achievable by any couple who want to protect themselves from the tragic actions we all can take when we are deeply triggered. This approach is for real humans who value growth, healing, and continuity of connection, and are willing to do the learning and unlearning to make that a reality.
