Menopause changed more than my body—it changed how I experienced intimacy.

For a while, I felt frustrated that my body no longer responded the way it once had, and that frustration quietly seeped into my relationship.

Learning to approach my body, my partner, and our s*xual experiences with curiosity and compassion opened the door to a new understanding of what good s*x could be.

If you're navigating menopause and intimacy, I hope this resonates. 💜

With some openness and self compassion with our changing body, s*x after menopause can feel really good!

Keeping score is the fastest way to feel disconnected with our partner. Often resentment can build when we assess our partner’s contribution through the lens of our emotional reactions. Adopting an equity mindset can help us have better conversations and healthier conversations when asking with our partner for support 😀! ❤️

About Charismatic Leaders, and the Charismatic Situation, Rutan & Rice, 1981 write:

"Our patients often come to us yearning for a perfect parent, an omnipotent leader, the "right" answers for life's questions. A most difficult task in parenting our children is the capacity to allow them to grow separate and apart. It is also a difficult
task in the therapy we provide." (Rutan & Rice, 1981
PSYCHOTHERAPY: THEORY, RESEARCH AND PRACTICE
VOLUME 18, #4, WINTER, 1981.)

So relevant both for fostering autonomy and differentiation in both parental, and the psychotherapy, relationships !

Happy to share my new blog on Restoring Safety Through Mindfulness-Based Trauma Recovery Therapy. I am so grateful to all the clients who trust me to walk along side them and provide care to the wounded parts of themselves. They are so courageous and I have no doubt that psychotherapy is all about love!

Beautiful poem, captures the love it takes to heal from past injuries so aptly!

I want to hold your hand,
Cradle your head and whisper;
You are all of your past,
The pain and the betrayal belong;
Embrace all of it, see its place
In your history, root it in its time,
Salute it, leave it be and travel on
Knowing it is on the other side of Love.
