EP 493: Nischa Heron Phair - Reconnecting to Sexuality After An Unhealthy Relationship Feb 22, 2022

Show notes

Nischa Heron Phair is an author, researcher and trauma-informed sex educator who believes in authentic sexuality as the antidote to sexual perfectionism—the silent intimacy killer that makes us perform sex instead of experiencing it in a way that feels truly embodied. She works almost exclusively with female survivors and those recovering from unhealthy relationships to help them reclaim a nourishing, authentic and soulfully-aligned relationship to pleasure that supports them to live purposefully in every area of their lives.

In this episode of Last First Date Radio:

Why Nischa became passionate about sexuality
How unhealthy relationships impact and injure a person’s sexuality
What is fawning?
How fawning affects people long term
How to reclaim sexuality after an unhealthy relationship
How the pandemic affected our relationship to pleasure

EP 490: Live Coaching With Cheryl - When and How to Speak Up in a Relationship Feb 01, 2022

Show notes

In this episode of Last First Date Radio, I coach Cheryl on why it’s so hard to speak up in her current relationship. A little background on Cheryl:

She grew up in a home with an alcoholic father
Her parents argued violently with each other
She didn’t receive the love and affection she needed as a child
She struggled in all her relationships
Her husband didn’t value her
The next person she dated after divorce didn’t value her
In her current relationship, she’s afraid to speak up about hurt feelings

I coach her on how to give herself the love she didn’t get as a child to fill the hole she has from a dysfunctional childhood. And I give her a three-part homework assignment to help her begin to heal.
