#081 - You need to initiate sex, avoiding conflict in relationships, desire, & MORE
Are you ready to unravel the mysteries of modern love and intimacy? Today I'm joined by renowned psychotherapist and sex therapist, Todd Baratz. Together, we're peeling back the layers of how our personal histories shape the way we handle conflict and connect intimately with others.
We're tackling the tough questions: How do self-awareness and open communication empower us to defy societal pressures and those pesky, unrealistic expectations in our romantic lives? What impact do past traumas have on our adult relationships? And let's get real about emotional intimacy – why is it so crucial, and why do so many of us struggle with it?
Get ready for a candid exploration of the complexity between love and intimacy in the modern age. It's an episode you won't want to miss!
