Jeremy Schumacher
About this episode

Jeremy is joined this week by fellow licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and Sex Therapist, Caitlin Weber. Caitlin Weber discusses her journey into the mental health field and her path to becoming a systems-oriented therapist with a focus on sex therapy. Jeremy and Caitlin discuss the pervasive influence of religious norms on cultural attitudes towards sex and mental health, noting the lasting impact these harmful expectations can have on clients. They also emphasize the importance of comprehensive sex education and the ongoing effort to combat sexual shame and misinformation. ​​It’s a very ADHD brain type of chat, and we talk about being neurodivergent and the intersectionality of mental health, sexuality, and neurodivergence. Also, happy Pride everyone!

To learn more about Caitlin and her practice, head over to webertherapy.com and keep an eye out for her on Instagram soon!

Jeremy has all his practice info at Wellness with Jer, and you can find him on Instagram and YouTube.
