Summary

Where Does Intimacy Come From? Palliative Care and Sexuality – Two Experts Join me and Palliative care physician Dr. Faryal Michaud. When your view of sexuality is narrow, it is threatened by health challenges. The effects of cancer diagnosis on sexuality. “You are still a man if your penis doesn’t work” – Dr. Casperson Where does intimacy come from? Tips for communication - Talk about sex outside the bedroom - Curiosity “curiosity is the opposite of judgement” Dr. Faryal - This is not just one conversation - Don’t think one person is the problem – it is a couple issue We discuss sexless marriage We discuss how common it is to struggle with sexuality after a baby comes into a family New relationship brains are akin to taking cocaine – we neglect other things besides our new love. This wears off after about 6-18 months. “You can’t think an orgasm” – Dr. Casperson “How are you going to be the person worth having sex with?” – Dr. Casperson “We are so ill prepared to go into long term relationships.” – Dr. Casperson Anxiety kills sex drive Awareness, acceptance and acknowledge – three components of dealing with what comes up in life. Living life on purpose, a view of life as fleeting as a way to make friends with your life and this moment. Death is certain, suffering is optional. Live every minute to its full capacity. The role of gratitude. www.instagram.com/drfaryalmichaud Book discussed – Rekindling Desire by Dr. Barry and Emily McCarthy https://amzn.to/3k65ZTA Our podcast sponsor is Bonafide Bonafide products help women embrace the natural changes that occur throughout all phases of life.

0:07.6	psychology to re-educate your brain and help you live your best love life. And I'm your host,
0:12.3	board certified female urologist, Dr. Kelly Casperson. Hey friends, it's Kelly Casperson here,
0:18.9	host of the You Are Not Broken podcast. And I'm so excited to be having a conversation with my good friend. Do you want to introduce yourself?
0:25.9	Yes, hi, everyone. This is Fario Misho, and also you're listening to write your last chapter podcast. And I love having Kelly today together and we were going to do this differently, but I love her
0:38.9	idea of both of us interviewing each other. Hi, Kelly. My name is Farial and I am a palliative
