Episode 26 begins the Erotic Epiphany Series!
On this episode Lesley Goth PsyD. joins the conversation to talk about trauma, anxiety, sexual expression, sexual identity, and we dig into eroticism.
Porn can bring couples together? Porn addiction is not the only addiction we should reevaluate: Hello Netflix binges. Anything can be used to avoid intimacy and addiction- watch for the indications of numbing pain or fear of rejection or exclusion when reaching for a way to find pleasure. Self-awareness is key. If we rely on autopilot programming, we cannot break any habit. Change comes from an internal desire to want to change.
What is sexual anorexia? We discuss that plus I ask the question: Can a Presidential election cause PTSD? Lesley offers a considerate and serious response to the question.
Why doesn’t pseudo connection via the internet work? “We are meant to be connected to each other- like touching!”
What’s wrong with perfectionism? What is Big T Trauma and how does it differ from Little T Trauma?
