If you'll enjoy our show, there's another show I think you'll really like.

It's called Motherhood Sessions and it's hosted by renowned reproductive psychiatrist Alexander Sachs. On every episode of Motherhood Sessions, Dr. Sachs sits down with women and couples for anonymous therapy-like conversations to work through the joys and frustrations of being a mom.

It's a show about parenthood, but it's also a show about identity, grief, genetics, and so much more. about years. On the surface, it seems like the birth of their son was the main cause of their

loss of intimacy.

But as Dr. Sachs digs deeper, it turns out that the couple's sexual issues predate

their child and have their roots in a more fundamental misunderstanding in the relationship.

If you like this episode you can hear all episodes of motherhood sessions on Spotify or

wherever you get your podcasts. Okay, here's the show.

When was the last time you attacked?

I think it was like two years ago, which is crazy.

All it happened slowly. I mean, I don't know. How does two years pass without having

sex? I don't know. It's been a long time and it's like I want to find my way back to

to viewing myself as a person that is a sexual person. I don't even know where to begin with it.

I don't even know how to initiate sex anymore.

It just feels incomplete.

You know, I feel incomplete.

I feel like there's a big part of me that isn't being expressed.

I feel like the sexual part of me just doesn't exist anymore.

This is Motherhood Sessions.

I'm Dr. Alexandra Sachs.

Today I'm talking with a couple we're calling Cassie and Ray.

They're both artists and they've been together for more than eight years.
