Anxiety shouldn't be ignored or pushed down when it comes to physical intimacy. Instead, face it directly.
"What do you need? How can I help?"

A DEEP dive into some of the reasons that you may be feeling annoyed, anxious or turned-off when your spouse initiates s*x.
Visit the link in my bio and click "read blog" for the full scoop. Oh, and bring a pen and paper. We have some reflection to do.

Maybe sometimes you are in a black dress, high-heels, red-lip kind of mood. But chances are, this isn't your day-to-day. Let's start to rethink your idea of "s*xy."
This is honestly one of my favorite parts of s*x therapy work. You get to set all your cards on the table, sort through them and explore the meaning of S*xy *to you*.
It's certainly a brain stretch. But in the best way.

When you are consistently reactive and/or avoidant in the day-to-day of your relationship, intimacy will likely be less appealing. Still, couples often fight about the s*x itself rather than going directly to the source of the issue: why don't we act like we *want* to make love to each other?
And no, I'm not talking about making out or initiating. I'm talking about how you talk to each other, spend time with each other... all of the stuff that make s*x feel truly intimate when the time comes.
If you feel your relationship feels more more like cacti in the desert than a lush rainforest, this episode is for you.

We try to be patient.
This is just a reminder...to give them the same patience that you are requesting of them.
And for many couples in therapy, this is challenging because of the history that you share. Too many argument, too many hurtful words, too many silent nights and cold shoulders. So your patience...it has run dry.
In therapy, we practice building up your window of tolerance again. We practice extracting the impulsive comments or dismissive eye rolls - and replacing them with open ears and gentle responses.
It is hard to do on your own. But the progress you desire cannot be done without patience and tenderness.
Schedule a consultation, and let's begin the journey of building towards the type of communication (and care) that you deeply long for.

Kids are often mentioned in couples therapy.
Sometimes it is in relation to stress and organization of busyness.... but other times, it is because the couple wants to set a good example. They want to break generational patterns and become parents that will stay together and build a loving, stable home.
Setting an example is deeper than only avoiding states of crisis. It's about *proactively* setting examples. By interrupting the ways that you can be absent, reactive or avoidant when on autopilot.
Learn how to regulate your emotions so that they can see what it looks like.
Learn how to identify and talk through solutions to problems so that they know healthy ways of thinking.
Learn how to rest and care for your mind and body so that they know how to prevent burnout.
Having a healthy home isn't just about staying together. It's about the environment that you create.

When thoughts are raw, we may communicate them with barbs and thorns.
It can be hard for our spouse to hear or tend to us if they are then also bleeding - because of the barbs and thorns wrapped around our message.
If your emotions are intensified by anxiety, fear, anger, sadness....consider a brain dump on paper to first organize and sort your thoughts. What do you need? What do you feel? How can they help?
You may find you have more access to an open/collaborative form of expression. Even if the emotion itself is still big and heavy.
Need help? I gotchu. Therapy is a conversational download and organization of overwhelming thoughts.
