The Self-Care of Deep, Sensuous Intimacy

Suzanne and Alexandra Stockwell talk about the deep sensuality that is possible in marriage and committed relationships. And how to keep it burning ever deeper! Today’s show begins with a quick dive into some alarming but important statistics from my blog about the need to take vacation time. Because you deserve it! You deserve intimacy, too. In fact, we all do. But how often do we get true intimacy in life—especially if we’re mostly focused on trying to get it all done? Dr. Alexandra Stockwell teaches us how to have ‘uncompromising intimacy’ in relationships, and how to cultivate truly sensual intimate relationships.   NOTE: If you suffer from any kind of perfectionism or performance anxiety—this one’s for you! Among other things, I learned:   Why extremely busy women in particular need and struggle with intimacy Where performance anxiety fits in to all of this Why does passion fade with time? How do we know if there is more passion available to us? What about using cannabis and alcohol around sex? How communication fits in with all of this   Whether your attached or single, there is much to learn here. It’s a moving, useful conversation about living in deeper, richer, more delicious sensuality. Viva intimacy!
