Show notes

At times in my coaching career, I've been asked by clients about the use of psychedelics in sex therapy. I know that this may be a controversial topic, but I think it's important to be given all of the information so you can make the decision for yourself. I am excited to have Jeff Lundgren on the podcast today to talk about it. This interview is fascinating! We talk about the history of psychedelics and their use in therapy. And Jeff shares some success stories he has witnessed in clients who used psychedelics to heal sexual dysfunction. Even if you've never been curious, I would still encourage you to listen to this episode to learn more about how to heal dysfunction in your life.

Episode 290 - What Makes A Marriage Thrive Nov 10, 2023

Show notes

Most of us will say that our marriage is our most important relationship. Yet we often let things get in the way of making it great and our marriage gets put on the back burner. Whether that is kids, work, hobbies, or church callings, we don't put enough into our relationship. And that relationship is barely surviving instead of thriving. And when our relationship suffers, often so does our sexual relationship. So in this episode, let's talk about 11 ways to make a marriage thrive. We'll discuss how these strategies can help both your marriage relationship and your sexual relationship because we often talk of sex as a need, but it's not a need like air, food or water is a need. But it is a need for the thriving marriage that we want.

Episode 289 - Consequences of Sexual Accommodation Nov 03, 2023

Show notes

I think we all want to have an intimate marriage, but we often miss one important step in achieving that. To have an intimate marriage, we must understand and make room for both partners' wants and desires, without judgment or shame. But what I often see happening is that one partner thinks their wants and desires matter more than the other partner and they expect their partner to accommodate them. Or, I also see that one partner suppresses their wants and desires or preferences to accommodate their partners. This can create resentment, anxiety, and guilt. So, why do we do this and what can we do about it? That's what we're talking about in this episode.

Episode 287 - Overcoming Boredom in Sex Oct 20, 2023

Show notes

Many women tell me that sex is boring for them, which is one of the reasons why they don't have a strong desire for it. No one craves boredom. We crave pleasure, excitement, novelty, and fun. And if sex is boring, you are probably not having any of those things. But one of the biggest reasons why women are bored is because they often aren't being an active participant. What does it mean to be an active participant in your sex life? It means communicating your needs, being willing to try new things, setting the mood, role-playing, and so much more. It's time to take control of your own sexuality and be a good receiver of pleasure. Listen to this episode to hear even more ways you can be an active participant and a good receiver in sex.

We'll discuss why pornography isn't a great way to learn about sex, the misconceptions and myths it perpetuates, and the potential problems it can create in our sexual relationships.
