About this episode
I periodically get people asking me if we do couples' counseling. While we have worked with a number of couples, it's usually one at a time. So I decided to bring on a guest whose approach to bringing what she calls "everyday eroticism" into a marriage that still has to wash the dishes and get the kids off to school, might just be what turns the tides for you. Alexandra Stockwell, MD, is an author, physician, and personal coach turned relationship guide and is here to share her wisdom. Have a listen.
Highlights:
- Understanding gives you enough framework to feel safe to have different experiences. (6:55)
- People don't honor the "I just knew" piece enough. It's a feeling in your system, it's not an intellectual problem with a person, it's the only thing your body could make sense of. (8:45)
- You have no chance of creating what you want if you don't know what you want. (23:00)
- I think the way to be human is to eliminate the taboo as much as we can and be integrated with all the elements that we get to express in a marriage. (47:10)
