If you experience pain during intimate time, you'll likely get to a place of avoidance - or anxiety that spikes anytime your spouse initiates.
While therapy and PT appointments are key in helping to improve your symptoms, you likely want to know what can be enjoyed *right now,* even with pain present.

At times, married couples push back on the at-home intimacy tasks given in sessions because "it doesn't feel natural."
Well....yes. No. Kind of.
When left on autopilot, the natural state of intimacy is slow decline. In this podcast episode, I talk about "natural" intimacy and what it truly takes to thrive.

One of the hardest (and most rewarding) parts of individual therapy is when we get to rewire beliefs around relationships.
So many people have only seen relationships with emotional starvation, explosive communication, cold avoidance, inconsistent care.
It becomes the new norm. Familiar ground.
But then...something happens that scratches the record. "Wait...I don't want this."
They know they don't want what is presently happening, but have no idea of any other option.
So...the rewiring begins with one question: "what is a healthy relationship?"

Instead, you stay....frozen.
Years of the same pattern. When you reflect back and realize how much time has passed, you are genuinely shocked. "How did we allow things to go on for this long?"
And it is possible because intimacy can be easy to push aside. After all, you're tired. You're busy. Too much life is happening. Maybe even some really hard things.
And intimacy takes effort and energy. It does. To give your undivided attention - mentally and physically - to someone else, can take a lot. You have likely tried to fix things before, but the efforts lasted only a few weeks...maybe months...before your reverted to the old pattern.
So you are frozen in a state of disconnection, half-hearted pecks and empty bedrooms routines, simply because you don't know how to make positive change. It takes less energy to avoid the topic altogether, right?
So, I get it. I see you.
My question for you is...do you want intimacy to feel good in your relationship again? And I'm not just talking about the mechanics. I mean, do you want to look forward to time alone with each other? Anticipate a stolen kiss or a playful gesture? Enjoy the feeling of closeness?
If so... therapy is a great starting point. Let's talk. ✅️Schedule a consult at the link in my bio for individual or couples therapy - focusing on your intimacy issues - in Atlanta, GA.

You want to understand why desire is nowhere to be found...
Pause. Reflect on the life you live.
Where does desire have any room?
Nowhere between the appointments, the traffic or the to-do lists have you created room for desire to stretch, exhale, and settle in with satisfaction.
Your mind is heavy and clouded. You exist in a managerial or productive state. This has its own time and place.
But desire needs space.
Want to learn how? Stop and feel the breeze. Just long enough for you to truly *feel* the breeze.
This is your first step.
Next, if you choose, I invite you to schedule a consultation for therapeutic attention solo or with your spouse. Social media posts and head knowledge only go so far... it's time to experience something new.
Invitation is at the link in my bio. Hope to meet you soon.

The busyness of the holiday season can catch you off guard. And for many couples, it ends up being a time of stress, frustration, and distance.
Come up with a game plan before the rush begins. Stay close. Don't let stress take over.

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?"
If this question feels challenging to navigate, come over to the link in my bio. Schedule a 15-minute consultation. I'd love to support you through the hard questions, towards a constructive solution.

A DEEP dive into some of the reasons that you may be feeling annoyed, anxious or turned-off when your spouse initiates s*x.

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.
