About this listen
When couples stop having sex, they usually assume it's about laziness, manipulation, or lack of attraction. But sexual disconnection is actually a signal that something deeper needs attention—usually safety, repair, and attunement. Your nervous system, emotional dysregulation, and unspoken resentment all play a part in creating sexless relationships.
In this episode of The RISE to Intimacy, I walk through the critical difference between consent and coercion, avoidance and control, protection and rejection. I explain how unresolved emotional dysregulation keeps couples stuck in cycles of shutdown and escalation, and why communication alone isn't enough without the ability to stay present in your body.
1:06 – Why sexless relationships are about more than frequency
3:43 – The subtle difference between withholding and self-protection
6:53 – How safety (not desire) often determines sexual availability
9:36 – The unseen role emotional dysregulation plays in disconnection
12:18 – What must be restored before intimacy can return
