Overcoming Barriers to Sexual Intimacy

Join me on the Sex Advice for Seniors podcast to discuss how I integrate EMDR and other somatic modalities into sex therapy.

Listen to the Sex Advice for Seniors episode Intimacy Issues: Understanding and Overcoming Barriers here or wherever you get your podcasts.

In this conversation, host Suzanne Noble and I delve into what somatic psychotherapy entails, the role of EMDR in trauma healing, and the challenges of intimacy in relationships.

As we discuss, trauma can turn up in relationships in many forms and can create both psychological and physical barriers to intimacy, which can prevent singles and couples from fully exploring the many ways to experience sexual pleasure.

We also touch on the importance of enthusiastic consent, perimenopause, and how sexual orientations such as asexuality and demisexuality are gaining recognition.
