Exploring Sexual Intimacy with Sade Ferr...

SHAUN GALANOS
About this episode

Sade Ferrier - an Associate marriage and family Therapist and Intimacy Coach - discusses sexual intimacy and how to feel safe in a relationship. Sexual intimacy is multidimensional, as she clarifies, it’s more than intercourse and more than sex. Sade shares the importance and challenges of accepting your lover and Shaun shares a practice called Desires, Fears, and Boundaries.

 

Shaun shares a useful practice for better communication about sex or intimacy practices based on understanding our desires, fears and boundaries.

 

What you'll learn (or why you should care):

 

  • What it means to feel safe in a relationship and how to do the work to reach that feeling
  • The problems with racial discrimination in the world of therapy & the concept of swirling
  • How to work with a therapist and how to build a trust-based relationship with the therapist
