Jeremy is joined this week by certified sex educator Veronica Dress. Veronica shares her journey from growing up with Catholic sex misinformation to becoming a queer, trauma-informed sex educator and intimacy coach. She and Jeremy discuss the political and cultural barriers to comprehensive sexuality education, the role of creativity and play in intimacy work, and the importance of permission-giving in dismantling shame from purity culture. They explore how expanding definitions of pleasure and reclaiming creative control over sexual narratives can be a form of liberation for people of all genders.
To learn more about Veronica and her work, head over to www.dressrehearsal.space and be sure to check out the upcoming workshop: Dating While Anxious. Give her a follow on Instagram to get updates!
As always, Jeremy has all his practice info at Wellness with Jer, and you can find him on Instagram and YouTube. To show your love for the show you can pick up some merch! We appreciate support from likes, follows, and shares as well! None of my online work would be possible without my media maven Kenny, so check out their work as well at kenlingdesign.com

Podcasts about therapy do not replace actual therapy, and listening to a podcast about therapy does not signify a therapeutic relationship.
