Most people don’t come to therapy saying, “I want to talk about sex.”

They say, “I feel disconnected,” “Something’s wrong with me,” or “I don’t have the words.”

In this episode, we break the silence around sexual health and unpack what therapy actually addresses beneath the surface—shame, emotional safety, trauma, faith, culture, stress, and connection. This isn’t explicit, but it is honest.

We talk about:

• Why sex is so saturated with shame
• Common myths about discussing sexual concerns in therapy
• The emotional and nervous-system roots of intimacy struggles
• Why silence often does more damage than the issue itself
• What healing really looks like (and what it doesn’t)

If you’ve ever wondered “Am I normal?”, felt behind, disconnected, or unsure how to name what you’re experiencing, this episode is for you.

We’re kicking off Season 7 by talking about the thing clients circle for weeks — the topic that never quite gets said. In this episode, we break down how avoidance shows up in therapy, why it’s often protection (not resistance), and what it’s guarding underneath. From over-explaining and joking to staying “productive” in session, we unpack the clinical and human reasons people steer away from certain truths.

We also explore what happens when the avoided conversation finally enters the room — how clarity increases, the therapeutic alliance deepens, and real movement begins. If you’ve ever felt stuck in therapy (or noticed yourself dodging a topic), this episode is a reminder: avoidance is information.

✨ Subscribe to VIP for exclusive bonus content, deeper clinical conversations, and behind-the-scenes insight all season long.

Because the conversation you’re avoiding might be the one that finally lets you exhale.

The new year often comes with pressure — to fix everything, push harder, and finally become a “better” version of yourself. But what if that approach is exactly why resolutions keep failing?

In this episode, we break down why traditional New Year’s resolutions lead to burnout, guilt, and all-or-nothing thinking — and how to replace them with intentions that are realistic, supportive, and aligned with your actual capacity. From a therapist’s perspective, we explore how to set goals that work with your nervous system, not against it.

This episode is only part of the conversation.

In the VIP portion, the conversation deepens with behind-the-scenes therapy reflections from 2025 — including meaningful moments involving EMDR work, fertility-related decisions, couples work and engagement planning, what it looks like when clients graduate from therapy, and important conversations around Black men in therapy.
