Manage episode 456131500 series 2973475
Many couples deal with a variety of intimacy blockers, resulting in diminished intimacy and erosion of passion. In this episode of the Intimate Marriage Podcast, host Alexandra Stockwell MD, delves into this topic with guests Dr. Alison Ash and Sebastian Clark. The discussion covers key aspects of intimate relationships including attachment styles, boundaries, and ways to sustain meaningful connection. They offer actionable strategies to overcome barriers like emotional discomfort, attachment challenges, and misperceptions of failure. Drawing from personal experiences and professional expertise, they unpack the psychology of sexual dynamics, explore how to shift from feeling pressure to enjoying connection, and share practical techniques to nurture lasting passion and fulfillment in long-term relationships.
Also in this episode:
Intimate relationships serve as potent avenues for personal growth, providing unique opportunities for self-discovery and development.
Managing pressure in sexual encounters involves recognizing and naming feelings, allowing partners to alleviate stress and foster genuine connection.
Understanding distinct attachment styles and boundaries significantly contributes to a relationship's health and longevity.
