Today’s post is a little more on the personal side. I’ve been keeping a secret for a while - I was asked to be a guest on The Healing Art of Being You podcast to talk about sex therapy from a Christian perspective! And the episode dropped last week! I love the title they came up with for our episode: “Divinely Designed for Pleasure.”

In the realm of relationships, it's crucial to recognize the ways in which we may inadvertently sabotage our own connections. Sometimes, our own behaviors and patterns can undermine the love and intimacy we desire.

When you grow up surrounded by mixed messages about sexuality it can be difficult to know what’s normal and what’s not. Depictions of sex are often unrealistic or negative.

It's common for many people to feel like there's something wrong with them because they struggle to connect intimately with others. Many people grew up in very strict families that struggled with emotional communication and vulnerability

Many people—both men and women—experience fluctuations and changes in their sexuality over the course of their lives.

Almost everyone experiences fluctuations in the level of their libido and sexual desire over the course of their lives. Some of that is due to natural, hormonal changes in the human body, but other times it’s due to outside factors like stress around the house or at work.

In the simplest terms, a sex therapist’s role is to give people a safe space to work through any sexual issues they feel they may be having.

Sexuality is a fundamental part of the human experience, but for so many people its also a source of discomfort and shame.
