Attention Couples Therapists, you're going to want to listen to this episode! https://bit.ly/3zoujIr Laurie and George role play a therapy session to help understand the world of the emotional withdrawer in the sexual cycle. Emotional withdrawers want to remain positive to support the relationship but when the emotional heat turns up they often turn away. If you are having difficulty engaging a withdrawer in the emotional cycle we encourage you to PIVOT! We find that withdrawers often flip to become pursuers in the sexual cycle. If therapists avoid naming the pain that lies in the sexual disconnection they may miss an opportunity to help them share their vulnerability with their partner. We focus on creating ALOT of safety for both partners and deeply honoring the defense systems that have been created to manage pain. While we know this episode will help the therapists in our community, partners will also benefit! We are helping to get safety in the sexual cycle so you can keep it hot 🔥! Link in bio

Cultivating a Loving Relationship With Your Body Build a fabulous relationship with your amazing body using this exercise.

Listen…your body knows how to keep you safe.

Love this explanation from :⁠
⁠
"The body has powerful consciousness, and it’s continually using its whole system to help us guide our lives and the energy in them. The nervous system communicates through energetics, vibration, emotions, and signals. Are you honouring the signals? They come to guide you toward higher vibrations and not away from them. I’ve said in a few podcasts interviews that the feeling of butterflies is not a sign of high vibrational attraction but unsettledness and alarm. Your nervous system is at ease, balanced, and disarmed with the right people for you and not sent into fight or flight mode.⁠
•⁠
The right people induce the right neurotransmitters (chemical messengers) in your body, which will feel calm. At times, this feeling can be mistaken for ‘boring’ or ‘too normal’ if you’re used to butterflies, chaotic, and fight or flight relationship energy. As you drop into the mindful practice of honouring the best relational and energetic connections for you and your nervous system, your sense of ‘boring’ will transform into safe, sound, calm, joyous, and high vibrational relationship energy; and these types of relationships will fulfill and reward you long term in ways that low vibrational ones could never. 💛⁠
•⁠
Listen to your body’s sacred wisdom. Honour the sacred signals within. And if you’re new to holding (intentional and unapologetic) space for high vibrational relationships, journey in grace and love yourself through the process of honouring who and what is good for you and your nervous system."⁠
