Understanding that makes it so that I can manage it and participate effectively, just so important.
Ever wondered how intimacy plays a role in healing relationships strained by addiction? In this episode of the Untoxicated Podcast, Matt and Sheri Salis tackle this sensitive yet crucial topic. They start by reviewing Dr. Emily Nagoski's best-selling book, Come As You Are, which offers a fresh perspective on sexual anatomy and the factors that influence desire and arousal.
Matt’s light-hearted explanation of the clitoris to Sheri is a moment worth tuning in for, providing a mix of humor and education. The couple discusses the 'accelerators' and 'brakes' that affect sexual response, diving into how mindset and context are often overlooked but vital components of intimacy. But it’s not just about the science; Matt and Sheri weave in their personal experiences, shedding light on how intimacy can be rebuilt in relationships recovering from alcoholism.
They also touch on the often-ignored gender dynamics and heteronormativity in sexual research. This episode is a candid, sometimes blush-worthy conversation that offers practical insights and heartfelt reflections on managing sexual anxiety, building trust, and fostering self-esteem. If you're navigating recovery with a partner, this episode provides valuable perspectives on how to rekindle intimacy and strengthen your relationship.
