Today in this powerful episode, certified sex therapist Natasha Helfer joins Dave Schramm and Liz Hale to discuss the complex relationship between sexual health, faith, and cultural messages. Natasha sheds light on the damaging effects of sexual shame, the influence of purity culture, and the importance of open communication around intimacy. She offers actionable advice for parents, couples, and individuals to foster healthier sexual relationships, overcome shame, and approach intimacy with compassion and understanding. This conversation is filled with insights to help listeners navigate their sexual and relational well-being. About Natasha: The owner and founder of Symmetry Counseling. Natasha Helfer received her bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Brigham Young University and her master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Friends University. She also received her certifications as a sex therapist and sex therapist supervisor from the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT).  Natasha is licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist in Kansas and Utah. She is also an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist.  Insights: Natasha: "...sexual shame is a public health crisis. It really is a crisis. And living here in Utah, we've got, you know, air crisis. You know, our air is kind of polluted, and we passed the thing about pornography being a crisis. I mean, you know, there's lots of ideas about what is a crisis, but I really, truly believe that sexual shame hits. So deep and can affect so many things, physical things, like vaginismus, like erections, like stomach issues, you know, like indigestion, like immune immunity systems. It can affect our emotional health. You know, if we have sexual shame, it can lead to depression, anxiety, it can lead to scrupulosity and OCD." Liz: "Those who have chosen to not have sex before marriage, or at least not in this relationship, they wanted to say that and to be really instructive of them to someone right, a professional or a parent or a friend an auntie, to say, let's talk about what you can expect. Let's talk about really giving yourself some time on that even, I think you said three to six months, maybe Natasha right to really get your bodies adjusted and how this is going to be, and ways to converse about your sexuality and your preferences. Don't expect that just to take off on that first night. There's a lot of disappointment, a lot of shame. I think that comes from that not being what you're what you think your partner wanted." Dave: "We talked a little bit about parenting and the approach the parents take, they have to be proactive and intentional, thoughtful about the messages. Because, Natasha, you talked about you can take, you know, one direction and induce more shame, or it can be a positive, uplifting experience for parents that they've got to be willing and you have to talk about this topic. So I think, yes, first, I think it starts with parents and when children are young, and then keeping it it's not a one and done conversation, keeping that conversation going. And yes, absolutely. Couples before marriage, got to be able to talk and then keep the conversation going afterwards. It can't be something that all sudden. It's just silent and we don't talk about afterwards, or that was uncomfortable, or what happened there, and it's now I'm embarrassed and the shame cycle, wow, we've got to be able to, just as a broader society be able to talk and share and be open and honest in our conversation."

Join Wayne Giles as he shares insights into the often complex topic of sexuality, particularly as it relates to Step 4 of Alcoholics Anonymous. In this session, Wayne reminds us that our sexual powers are God-given and inherently good. Whether we struggle with shame, misuse, or fear regarding our sexuality, it's important to recognize that these feelings can either help or hinder our spiritual growth.Wayne emphasizes the importance of not loathing or despising our sexuality, as doing so only harms ourselves. Similarly, using it selfishly or irresponsibly hurts others. Instead, we are called to embrace our sexual nature in a healthy and balanced way, striving toward our personal ideals with a spirit of growth and self-reflection.As Joe often points out, the word “must” in AA has a deeper meaning. It's not about a sense of obligation but about realizing that if we're committed to recovery, why wouldn't we want to strive toward being our best selves? In this reflection, we are encouraged to see sexuality as a vital part of who we are, deserving of respect, understanding, and care.For more content, please like, comment, and share.

Alex shares her journey, starting with an interest in human sexuality and later focusing on sex and love addiction, as well as sexual codependency. She explains the difference between healthy and problematic sexual behaviors, noting that it's not the acts themselves but the misuse of sex that causes issues. Alex also highlights how childhood trauma and emotional deprivation can distort one's view of love, sex, and intimacy.The discussion touches on challenges faced by people struggling with codependency and self-love deficiency, particularly in relationships with narcissistic partners. Alex explains how early experiences shape the nervous system, leading to unhealthy patterns, where sex and love are often confused to avoid abandonment. Healing, she says, requires therapy, group support, and self-reflection.

But it's only a blessing when its healthy. Today my guest, Mary Whitman, fought to heal and discover her way into what HEALTHY sexuality inside of marriage can look like after journeying for years through a marriage and ultimately a divorce with a porn-addicted husband. IN this episode we get really honest about a lot of the questions women have around this topic, and so much more. We discuss: The impact of porn on marriage AND all relationships (its not just the spouse who is affected) The desire to extend a spirit of grace and mercy toward anyone who has been impacted by or involved in porn, or adultery. Healing is the only path forward. The essential roles of trust, respect and emotional safety in a healthy sex life. How a woman is to navigate the ever changing hormones and how this can make her sexuality difficult. (You're not alone!) Real intimacy is work: is it worth the work, and what to do when your spouse isn't willing to do the work. How to talk with your kids about sex. the CRUCIAL role men play in setting an example for their boys and girls with how they respect women Basically, it's the honest conversation you've been looking for.

In this episode, we dive deep into the heart of human sexuality and its intersection with divine grace. We explore the complexities of chastity, marriage, and the continuous journey towards understanding our bodies and spirits with our guest Bonnie Young, therapist and author.Join us as we peel back the layers of anxiety and expectation that often shroud discussions of sexuality. From the laughter and learning curves of adolescence to the sacred partnership of marriage, we grapple with the pulsating question: How can we reconcile our natural human experiences with the teachings of Jesus Christ and His infinite atonement?We unpack the cultural dialogue that sometimes overshadows the gospel's core messages of love, trust, and mercy. With candid vulnerability, we share personal narratives that highlight the often rocky path to aligning our actions with our innate knowledge of right and wrong, emphasizing that Christ's reach and grace know no bounds.As we address the turmoil and triumphs of sexual connection, we propose a shift in conversation—seeing sex not as a need but as a celebration of the soulful ties that bind us. In doing so, we shed the shackles of obligation and chore, instead stepping into a space of mutual joy and enrichment.This episode is an invitation to a more compassionate understanding of our sexuality, a call to nurture the next generation with a narrative of hope, devoid of shame, and rich in joy. We aim to inspire an approach to sexuality education that is imbued with the spirit of Jesus, drenched in grace, and leads to a deep, authentic connection—both with our partners and the divine.So tune in, and let's journey together towards a world where every step in our sexual journeys is met with compassion, understanding, and a celebration of the beautiful, complex beings we are created to be.Important Links Connect with Bonnie here: www.bonnieyoungcounseling.com Find a therapist through Azure Counseling: www.azurecounseling.com  Get Bonnie's book Sex Educated.
