Every therapist should talk about s*x in therapy.

Sometimes clients want to keep something a secret because they don't want to "get in trouble." Here's how I handle that kind of situation.

Therapists often ask me, “Is it even possible to bring back the spark once it’s gone?” The answer is a resounding YES. There is a path forward, and it starts with unravelling the years of stress, disillusionment, and disconnection that smothered the spark in the first place. I’ve got a short training on this exact topic: “Romance to Roommates: Rekindling the Spark.” So, if you’ve had clients with this issue (and who hasn’t?), check out the training here.

I can't get over how honored I am to have gotten to share my time at our Solo Sessions retreat with these amazing practitioners. I feel full, restored, connected, and grounded. One of the most incredible parts has been to hear the stories as people go back home and share how they are putting the work into practice. Nothing lights me up like hearing about playful, effective chair work!

I think a lot of therapists panic when an intervention doesn’t land the way they wanted. It can leave you scrambling for a next step, or doubting yourself. But when an intervention doesn’t land, it doesn’t mean you’ve done something wrong. Read more in my new blog post about how to reframe this situation!

Did you know I have a podcast? Dr. K. Skye Henry Smith and I explore topics of s*x and therapy every week. Last week, we dove into one of the most common issues: desire discrepancy. That episode and more at the link below!

"Thoughts, feelings, sensations, images in your mind all go together to create a pathway of arousal and or**sm." But how can you change that pathway if you need or want to? Watch this video for more.
