Podcasts about Intimate Connection

PBSE Podcast 279 confronts the painful contradiction many addicts face: a deep longing for intimate connection paired with a habitual avoidance of it. Through a heartfelt partner's submission and personal reflections, Mark and Steve illustrate how addiction, as an intimacy disorder, fuels this cycle of wanting but not acting—of making promises without follow-through. The core issue often isn't a lack of sincerity, but a profound disconnection from self, rooted in fear, shame, and survival-based behaviors that sabotage the very closeness being sought.Mark & Steve emphasize that real intimacy demands risk, consistency, and emotional presence—there's no “door number three” that offers closeness without vulnerability. Acting out behaviors like pornography offer a counterfeit form of connection without the discomfort of being seen or rejected. But for true healing and trust to take root, addicts must stop hiding behind avoidance and start showing up authentically, even if the steps are small. It's about shifting from vocalizing good intentions to building consistent habits of connection.Ultimately, the article issues a powerful call to action for those in recovery: don't just say you want intimacy—prove it. Begin where you are, but begin. For partners still offering connection, your continued hope is meaningful, but it must be met with effort. And for addicts, real change starts not with grand declarations, but with the next honest, intentional step toward your partner and yourself.For a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to:  Do you REALLY want Intimate CONNECTION or Not?Learn more about Mark and Steve's revolutionary online porn/sexual addiction recovery and betrayal trauma healing program at—daretoconnectnow.comFind out more about Steve Moore at:  Ascension CounselingLearn more about Mark Kastleman at:  Reclaim Counseling Services

Larissa learned early that sex wasn't something to talk about. Like many women, she approached intimacy focused on her partner's pleasure, making the right sounds, and looking good - never truly connecting with her own body's desires. Despite a loving marriage, she often looked forward to her period as a break from sexual obligations. Everything changed when she discovered how cannabis could quiet her busy mind and bring her into her body. For the first time in 30 years, she truly felt embodied sensations. This awakening not only transformed her sex life but rippled into every aspect of her life - from parenting to friendships to her approach to pleasure itself.IN THIS EPISODE:Why cannabis became Larissa's gateway to getting out of her head and into her bodyThe difference between Indica ("indi-couch") and Sativa for sexual explorationHow to start safely with cannabis (including exact dosing tips!)A simple grounding technique that instantly connects you to your bodyReal talk about transforming a long-term sexual relationshipPractical safety tips for cannabis use, especially around kidsEPISODE LINKS Larissa's WebsiteLarissa's Free Guide | Three steps you MUST take before starting your book Goddess Retreat | Ladies, join Leah & Dr. Willow in Crete Greece for a Tantra Yoga Healing AdventureKING & QUEEN OF HEARTS.

In this episode, Andrew finds himself conflicted. His talented young patient reflects a contemporary set of values and ideas that Andrew wishes to honour, but he has a nagging sense that Jaxx is running ahead of himself. He is caught between admiring Jaxx's resilience and wondering about the cost. But Andrew is not sure if his worry reflects a more conservative world view in himself or real potential danger for Jaxx.   In the session Andrew recognises that he needs to move to a both/and position, validating Jaxx's achievements while holding his vulnerabilities and being less cautious about moving closer.

Establishing genuine human connections poses a significant challenge in the face of societal expectations and personal inhibitions. The pressure to conform and maintain a carefully constructed image often prevents individuals from expressing their true thoughts and emotions. Consequently, this fear of judgement or rejection fosters relational interactions that lack depth and authenticity. As a result, many find their connections to be superficial, leaving a pervasive sense of disconnection and isolation. In this episode, you'll discover how radical honesty can transform such patterns and lead to deeper, more intimate connections. By examining the intersection of honesty, forgiveness, and vulnerability, this episode offers practical insights and exercises designed to foster genuine contact and warmth in your interactions. Learn about the power of reporting your immediate experience versus relying on preconceived notions, ultimately guiding you toward a more fulfilled and open way of relating. Brad Blanton, psychotherapist, author, and founder of Radical Honesty Enterprises, is known for his unwavering honesty and engaging Southern charm. His bestselling book, "Radical Honesty: How To Transform Your Life By Telling The Truth," has been translated into sixteen languages. Blanton's work explores personal and social transformation, evident in titles like "Practicing Radical Honesty" and "Honest to God." He retired in 2020 after writing extensively, with his final book, "Lying or Living," set for publication in 2024 by Sparrowhawk Publishing.

In this episode of the Intimate Marriage podcast, Alexandra Stockwell, MD explores the vital role of intimate connection, when navigating struggles couples commonly encounter in their sexual relationship, particularly after facing significant life challenges such as infertility and loss. Offering gentle, compassionate guidance, she describes effective methods to recreate emotional, sensual, and erotic intimacy. Dr. Alexandra discusses the challenges faced by couples when they experience disconnection during erotic intimacy. It often leads to functional sex rather than pleasure-driven passion. She  emphasizes the importance of reconnecting from a starting point of comfort and familiarity, slowly rekindling passion through tender, patient, calibrated moments together.   Also in this episode:  Recognize the impact of life events, such as infertility treatments and personal loss, on a couple's sexual intimacy. Understand the significance of starting with small, comfortable steps to re-establish physical connection. Acknowledge that both partners have changed throughout the challenging life circumstances, in unique ways, and the importance of integrating new aspects into the relationship.

She is also deeply committed to bringing yoga-based practices to non-traditional environments and underserved populations, to mentoring new teachers, and to reaching economically, ethnically and culturally diverse populations.  This interview was conducted live at Esalen on October 18, 2023.

In this episode, we will be discussing how theology and relational intimacy with Jesus can come together. We talk a lot about the importance of “walking with Jesus,” but what exactly does that look like, practically speaking, as we live out our everyday lives?

Dive deep into the heart of intimate connections with this sermon from The Resting Place. Drawing from the sacred words of Mark 6:30-32, where the apostles gather around Jesus to seek a private place of rest, we explore the very essence of what it means to foster connections in a world filled with rejections and challenges. In this episode, we reflect on Jesus's own experiences of rejection, even from those he held closest - his family and friends. Understand that you are not alone when you feel distanced or cast aside by those you trust. The poignant reminder from Psalms 27:10 assures us that even when forsaken by our nearest, the Lord remains our unwavering support. Learn the importance of discerning true, intimate connections from superficial ones. Delve into the lessons Jesus shared with the twelve about handling rejection, encapsulated in the imagery of shaking off dust and maintaining peace. Taking a leaf from Paul and Barnabas's journey in Acts 13:49-52, we're reminded of the need to sometimes walk away to keep our peace intact. The episode emphasizes the immense value of intentional connection, as seen in Jesus's persistent efforts to bond with his chosen few. Beyond the 'click culture' and casual friendships, it prompts a deeper introspection: Who are our real connections? What bonds do we share – missional or resting? We cap off this spiritual journey by highlighting the church's role. Just as 1 Thessalonians 2:7-12 depicts, the church should mirror a nurturing family, and Acts 2:42-43 exemplifies the commitment we need to foster towards each other. So, whether you're feeling distant, seeking deeper connections, or wanting to understand the sanctity of true relationships, this episode is a balm for the soul. Be inspired, be rejuvenated, and discover the path to genuine intimate connections today. For more resources, check out TRPTampa.com

Today, we're embarking on a refreshing season of TRP. Moving from the identity of “I Am The Resting Place,” we now embrace the collective power of "WE ARE…" Guided by a vision, our founder Caleb Hyers paints the vivid picture of TRP as a massive boat, bolstered by multiple sails representing our various campuses. While every sail catches the wind differently, the Tampa Campus stands tall as the 'Main Sail'. After deep reflection, a decision has been made: the Tampa Campus will now host our principal teaching voice. As we advance, we're thrilled to recognize the invaluable contributions of our dedicated leaders, Erik and Joel. While we anticipate more campuses joining our fleet, each will have its distinct character, yet remain unified in spirit. Under the apostolic guidance of our lead teacher, every campus, though individual in its expression, will echo the same teachings each week, inspired by a central theme and scripture. This collaborative effort ensures that each voice resonates with its own anointing and passion. Our inaugural theme? "WE ARE THE RESTING PLACE." Together, we seek answers to what it truly means to be a faith community enveloped by the Holy Spirit's fullness. Guided by Ephesians 2:19-22, we explore principles like Prayer, Humility, Intimate Connection, Bold Authenticity, and Devoted Worship. Prayer remains our cornerstone, likened to the thread binding our sails. Without it, our journey is incomplete. Drawing inspiration from Isaiah 56:6-7 and Psalm 132:3-9, we underscore the significance of unwavering prayer in our community's heart. Join us in this episode as we uncover the layers of our identity, destiny, and the powerful call to be a resting place for God's spirit. Subscribe, share, and let's grow together in faith and unity.

In this episode of The Intimate Marriage Podcast, Alexandra Stockwell, MD dives deep into the concept of amazing sex and what that truly means within the context of a healthy, loving marriage. Alexandra underlines that amazing sex is a deeply personal and subjective experience, emphasizing that the feelings evoked are far more important than the specific acts engaged in. Alexandra speaks of sex as a form of communication within a relationship, with each sexual encounter carrying a specific message between partners, whether expressed verbally or left unspoken. Alexandra provides various examples of these messages, such as expressing love and appreciation, searching for escape or connection, a desire for help with household chores, or simply wanting to feel nurtured. When both partners communications align, they enhance the overall sexual experience and create truly extraordinary passion, where emotional connection, understanding, and fulfillment flourish. Also in this episode: Each sexual encounter conveys a message, serving as a means of communication between partners. How to effectively express the emotions you want to convey. Many women use sex to get husbands to help with household chores. Using sex as a tool to escape daily stress and strengthen emotional bonds. Amazing sex is subjective and can differ from person to person. Using communication to enhance sexual experiences. Exploring the definition of unpleasant sexual experiences.
