About this episode

Welcome to episode 397 of the Sexology Podcast! Today I am delighted to be speaking with Irene Fehr. In this conversation, we discuss the various forms of sensitivity, including sensory, energetic, and emotional, and how these impact a person's daily life and intimate relationships.


Irene Fehr, MA, CCPC, SEP, Sex & Intimacy Coach helps couples make love and sex work in a long-term relationship and bring sex and passion into sexless ones. Weaving together somatic coaching, mindfulness, emotional communication work and experience around the intricate dynamics of women's sexual desire in a long-term relationship, Irene has developed and successfully applied her holistic Connection SexTM approach with couples who come to her as a last resort before divorce to turn their relationships around towards to include sexual intimacy and passion. Irene is no stranger to her clients’ issues. 


Her personal story of losing her libido and ending up in a sexless marriage all by the time she was 29 has been featured worldwide in more than 40 podcast interviews and in articles in major publications such as HuffPost, Cosmopolitan, Refinery29, Bustle, EliteDaily, and ScaryMommy.
