Podcasts about intimacy issues

In this enlightening episode of the Secret Life Podcast, host Brianne Davis-Gantt dives into the intriguing world of autosexuality—a term that describes individuals who experience sexual attraction primarily towards themselves. With her characteristic honesty and humor, Brianne unpacks this often-misunderstood concept, shedding light on what it means to be autosexual and how it differs from other sexual orientations.Brianne explores the nuances of autosexuality, discussing how it can manifest in various ways, from self-pleasure to fantasizing about one's own body. She shares insights on how this self-focused attraction can coexist with romantic feelings for others, emphasizing that autosexuality is not a mental disorder but rather a unique sexual preference that celebrates self-love and acceptance.Throughout the episode, Brianne highlights key characteristics of autosexual individuals, including their tendency to find pleasure in their own bodies, the importance of self-connection, and the potential intimacy challenges that can arise. She encourages listeners to reflect on their own experiences and consider how self-acceptance can enhance their relationships with themselves and others.As the conversation unfolds, Brianne reminds us that embracing our identities—no matter how unconventional—can lead to greater fulfillment and connection. Tune in for a thought-provoking exploration of autosexuality and the importance of understanding our own desires.

What you'll learn in this episode: You cannot sustain a fulfilling, hot sex life with emotional conflicts not being addressed.It doesn't have to take 20 years to find sustainable emotional connection for sex to start happening naturally (it can actually happen in a few weeks!)It takes getting comfortable in the uncomfortable to initiate conversation around connection problems with your woman. Don't wait to feel confident before talking to her. It's normal to go into these situations feeling uncomfortable. That's ok and your confidence will come from you taking action even when you're scared.Apply to work with me: https://stephanieganowski.typeform.com/to/Fm6LGfa9Free Guide:3 Steps To Fix Your Sex LifeSex Meditations https://meditations.supercast.com

Today, I want to talk to you about a question that lingers in the hearts of so many: Why can't I feel intimate with my partner? Let me assure you, you're not alone in asking this. Intimacy, that deep connection we all crave, can feel impossible when you're caught in the web of emotional abuse. Victims of covert abuse spend years wondering what is wrong with them. Why am I not more sexually attracted to my partner? We go to the doctor to learn what is wrong with us. We try medications and hormones. We try stress reduction and eating healthier. We try to just force our way through it. But nothing seems to work! This is because you are having a very normal reaction to a person that does not feel safe to you. A covert narcissist's impact on intimacy is profound and often heartbreaking. Intimacy requires trust, vulnerability, and emotional safety. These qualities  are absent in relationships with covert narcissists. I am Renee Swanson, and I help people recover from covert narcissistic abuse. Are you tired of feeling isolated and alone? Are you searching for people who get it? Are you confused, reactive and unsure what to do? Are you running in circles in your mind? Are you worried for your kids and the effect this is having on them? Do you want to know how not to raise another narcissist in this world? I can help you!

Send us a textHello, my loves! It's Juliette Karaman here, and I'm delighted to have you with me for this solo episode of The Scrumptious Woman. Today, I'm diving into a topic that many of my clients have been asking about—intimacy in relationships. Whether it's rekindling the spark, navigating through intimacy issues, or understanding each other's needs better, this episode is all about enhancing your connection with your partner. So, let's take a deep breath, relax, and explore together.Episode Summary:In this episode, we delve into the challenges many couples face when intimacy starts to wane. Whether it's due to stress, changes in desire, or unspoken issues, the lack of connection can leave both partners feeling distant. I guide you through recognising these signs and understanding that it's perfectly normal for relationships to evolve over time. However, this doesn't mean the intimacy has to disappear.I introduce the concept of “taking sex off the table” to focus on rebuilding the emotional and physical connection in a non-pressured way. We explore the different erotic blueprints—energetic, sensual, sexual, kinky, and shapeshifter—that influence how we experience pleasure and intimacy. Understanding your own and your partner's blueprint can be transformative in reigniting the connection.Finally, I leave you with a powerful exercise: spending five minutes asking your partner, “What does intimacy mean to you?” This simple but profound practice can open up new avenues for understanding and closeness in your relationship.Key Takeaways:Recognise the Shift: It's normal for intimacy to change over time, but recognising and addressing it is the first step toward rekindling the connection.Take Sex Off the Table: Focus on rebuilding emotional and physical intimacy without the pressure of sex. This can relieve stress and create a safer space for both partners.Understand Erotic Blueprints: Learn about the different ways people experience pleasure (energetic, sensual, sexual, kinky, and shapeshifter) and how this knowledge can enhance your intimacy.Communicate Openly: Use the five-minute exercise of asking, “What does intimacy mean to you?” to deepen your understanding of your partner's needs and desires.Small Steps Lead to Big Changes: Even small efforts to reconnect can lead to significant improvements in your relationship's intimacy and overall satisfaction.I hope this episode gives you valuable insights and tools to enrich your intimate life.

“Codependency is a circular relationship in which one person needs the other person, who in turn, needs to be needed. The codependent person, known as ‘the giver,' feels worthless unless they are needed by — and making sacrifices for — the enabler, otherwise known as ‘the taker.' — Dr Exelburg, Verywellmind Do you often feel you are giving more than your partner in relationships? Do you find yourself walking on eggshells, always being the one who apologizes first, feeling sorry for the other person even when they hurt you, or struggling to find time for yourself? These are all signs of a codependent relationship! In this episode, Shelly covers the definition of codependency, what research shows about the potential causes of it, and advice for overcoming codependent tendencies. We talk about how situationships are often inherently codependent, with one person being the "giver" and the other the "taker." Shelly talks about experiences she's had in past situationships that felt codependent in hindsight. Some of the key tips for overcoming codependency we cover in this episode include: Work on self-awareness and learning more about the patterns you have in relationships Become the president of your own fan clubStand up for yourself and set boundaries Take steps towards separation and independence Articles referenced in this episode:Codependency: How To Recognize The SignsWhat Is Codependency?Follow us on TikTok and Instagram!https://www.tiktok.com/@situationshiptosoulmatehttps://www.instagram.com/situationshiptosoulmate/

Main Topics: Men, Boys, Emotions, Vulnerable, Attunement, Intimacy, Trauma   Clementine Morrigan is a writer and public intellectual based in Montréal, Canada. She writes popular and controversial essays about culture, politics, ethics, relationships, sexuality, and trauma.    This part of her life taught her a deep sense of compassion for all human beings, which is central to the work she does today. In those early days she has seen the deep suffering in and around her, but has also seen during her years in A.A. the real possibility to turn your life around. When people are given the resources, compassion and the opportunity to look at themselves without shame, condemnation and with the reassurance that their humanity is seen, people do well in this environment, and they change.   Key topics include:  ⭐️ Compassion for People Who Are Traumatized, In Poverty, and in Addiction ⭐️ The Real Support in A.A. From People Facing Similar Challenges to Yours   ⭐️ Our Society's Dehumanizing View of People On the Streets  ⭐️ Child Abuse and the Lack of Compassion When People Become Dysfunctional Grown-Ups  ⭐️ The Suppressed Vulnerability in Men and the Inability To Communicate Pain Without Anger  ⭐️ The Emotional Disconnection That Young Boys, In Particular, Are Taught By Our Society ⭐️ The Deep Need of Touch in Men's Lives Outside The Context of Sex ⭐️ The Overwhelming Nature Of Being A Man Who Is Confident and Takes Action in Sex ⭐️ Consent and The Fear of the ‘No' in Both Sexes ⭐️ The Threat of Sexual Violence ⭐️ The World of Dating and The Fundamental Skill of Attunement With the Other Person ⭐️ The Importance of Questioning Your Beliefs and The Liberation Coming Out of It   Connect With David - The Authentic Man:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theauthenticman_/  Website: https://www.theauthenticman.net/  For Coaching: hello@theauthenticman.net  Newsletter: https://www.theauthenticman.net/home-subscribe  ✅ I have just opened up registration for the upcoming February 2024 cohort of my 12-week programme “Being An Authentic Masculine Man”, AKA B.A.A.M.M.

Have you ever felt overwhelmed or weighed down by the challenges you are facing with intimacy?  Maybe, as you start to think about the lack of interest in sex or the lack of initiating it, you realize that it leads to thinking about how unfair things seem to be, which leads to thinking about another negative aspect of the intimate experience.  And before long, it all seems too big and too complicated to solve.If you have ever felt this way, you are not alone.  Its actually quite common and normal.  The challenge we will face when we feel overwhelmed or weighed down is that we will get stuck, almost paralyzed, not knowing where to start making improvements... which usually means that we don't start at all.But today is the day that all of that changes!  Listen in on today's episode where we discuss how easy it is to start and where to start.  This momentum can become very powerful.  As you start to feel the relief of knowing where to start, you will be naturally motivated to take the next step needed to improve your intimacy challenges.

This episode was previously recorded for the Healing Sols Podcast and has been refurbished here for your enjoyment.   Healing Sols Podcast episode #3: Sex after Pregnancy. Informative discussion with Dr. Stephanie Buehler, licensed psychologist and AASECT certified sex therapist and author of "Counseling Couples Before, During and After Pregnancy: Sexually and Intimacy Issues.” You will hear a comprehensive dialogue about the many hiccups couples often encounter after that sweet baby is born. From physical issues (i.e. painful sex), hormonal implications (i.e. mood swings/postpartum depression), psychological stressors and narratives (i.e. how do I feel about my sexuality as a parent?), gender role expectations (i.e. how am I supposed to be showing up as a mom or dad?), social stressors (i.e. opinions or pressures from well meaning family or friends) and body image frustrations (i.e. will I ever lose that baby fat!?). Having babies are usually a wonderful time in a couple's life... and yet, wonderful times can still be stressful. Listening will help you prepare for some things you may not currently be aware of as well as give you some ideas as to what you can do to remedy some problems you come across. It can also give you a sense of some things you may need to talk through years after baby making time to get your sex life back on track.

I was triggered hard during sex, and I wanted to share (after processing) how I navigate a trauma response showing up in my own personal sex life. I've done tons of work on my sexuality - and there are always new ways my body integrates things on deeper levels. Some things I share out of this experience are: understanding what my body needs and how it helps me process triggers or big emotions during sex, shame and guilt associated with sex and feelings during sex, the fear of getting triggered happening again and what we did to navigate that time to have sex. I also shared how the intimacy I created with my body helped me process things much quicker, the complexity of limiting sexual experiences of the past and the most important thing to practice mastery in when it comes to integrating big feelings + hard experiences. Incase you haven't heard; I created an online course for couples.

Drop into this episode where I share the beginnings on how Ry and I met. When I tell you I spent the majority of the first year of our relationship crying you might not believe me. I share about how we went from disliking each other to having a hot secret office romance all the way to what I wore on our first time together and how the tools we used at the beginning of our relationship still support us to feel amazing today. If you told me I would go from primarily being in relationships with women to being married to Ry years ago, I would have bet money on myself the story would never ever come true.

This week we continue our conversation on how to communicate our sexual needs, wants, desires, to our partner. We look closer at heterosexual couples and explore a fear many women have of "undermining" or "emasculating" their male partner if they share what's on their mind. In this episode, you will learn about the internalised beliefs you might have developed by evolving in a patriarchal society. And I give you tools to break this pattern and allow yourself to be 100% you.Resources: Do Women Withhold Honest Sexual Communication When They Believe Their Partner's Manhood is Threatened? Man Enough: Undefining My Masculinity, by Justin BaldoniMy Instagram account: @morganehorn_ My Website: www.morganehorn.com Free Materials

This episode features relationship coach and masculinity coach Stefanos Sifandos, who dives deep with us about relationships, connections, human potential, and how masculine and feminine energy affects our day to day dealings.  Stefanos Sifandos' Story  [2:47] “Relationships can be really really difficult. What we miss often in our childhood is what we crave and value the most as adults. I value healthy relationships. ” Being an Adrenaline Junkie to Avoid the Healing [9:57] “We're avoiding dealing with stuff which leaves us feeling empty, and we end up filling that void. Physiologically, we're attempting to close the loop around trauma.” Dealing with the Household [14:15] “All these peak experiences that I was seeking were really about me pursuing pleasure to avoid the suppressed pain and unresolved trauma from my childhood.” Deep Curiosity [17:36] “You're never going to stop learning. You just become more curious and you want to go deeper.” Realizing the Readiness to Commit [33:15] “It can be challenging at times but it was in the solo work that we did that we were able to become more present with each other, and less detrimental and more valuable to each other.” It Won't Work [37:40] “If your partner is against your non-negotiables it will be very difficult to work. ” Intimacy Issues  [44:57] “You have to feel safe with your body with your partner. The way through pleasure and safety for women is through the heart.”  Masculine and Feminine Energy [54:45] “Culture, beliefs and values influence what becomes a dominant energy in our society.” Flipping the Switch of Intimacy [1:01:45] “Healing those original cores can be very very helpful in relieving the pressure of needing to perform.” Follow Stefanos Sifandos: @stefanossifandos Please download, rate & review this episode and share it with friends!  Connect with Kelly here: Courses & Coaching Kelly's Favorites Follow Me on Instagram Join the ChaseLife with Kelly Community!
