Reawakening Suppressed Sexuality || Room for Two Teaser!

Morgan knows sexual desire, but she has deliberately repressed those feelings for so long that she is struggling to get them back.

When she was younger, Morgan had a healthy curiosity about sex but felt she had crossed a line by reading romantic literature. In an effort to restore a sense of worthiness, she changed course and tried to never look back.

While Morgan now tries to be sexual with Harry, her heart just isn’t in it. She finds it more intuitive to accommodate Harry than to find and express her own eroticism after so many years of trying to snuff it out. In this episode of Room for Two, Dr. Finlayson-Fife explores how Morgan’s anxiety, perfectionism, and external moral reference have limited her capacity for intimacy, and what she can do to develop a healthier relationship to her sexuality as well as a more fulfilling intimate relationship with Harry.

This episode addresses:

• Perfectionism
• Sexual Anxiety
• Scrupulosity
• Regressed-Self
• Guilt and Shame
• Shifting from an External to an Internal Reference

Resources:

Dr. Finlayson-Fife suggests that Harry and Morgan take the Enhancing Sexual Intimacy Course. This course will give them progressive exercises to keep working with anxiety and self-regulation in order for Morgan to expand her ability to be at peace in her own mind and body.
