Summary

In today's episode we are digging deep into sexual fears and how to ask for help. This is a quintessential move to shift partners from a negative cycle to a positive one. When we are able to see how we are protecting and what we are protecting we can uncover the true need and ask for help. Join Laurie and George, in this conversation as they provide real fear examples and how to ask your partner to meet your needs. As the receiving partner it can feel like pressure to fix or solve when this vulnerability is spoken. Our hosts will guide listeners on how to provide the best empathic response to promote care, connection and co-regulation. Joining one another in the stress and not being left alone is a key move to shifting the relationship to a new dynamic and facing fears together. Get brave with us today as we face our sexual fears and ask for the help we need! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
