Welcome to Sex Chat for Christian Wives.

We're four marriage and sex bloggers discuss the naked truth.

What does God really want for the sexual intimacy in our marriage?

I'm Jay Parker of Hot Holy and Humorous.

I'm Chris Taylor from The Forgiven Wife.

I'm Gay Christmas of Calm, Healthy, Sexy.

I'm Bonnie Burns of Oyster Bed 7. Today, we're going to take the mystery out of what happens in a sex therapist office.

The podcast team and I have often mentioned that some sexual issues are best resolved with the help of professionals.

So sitting with me today at the kitchen table is Dr. Jessica McLeese, licensed psychologist and sex therapist.

Welcome, Jessica.

Hi, Bonnie. Thank you.

You're so welcome.

Now, you've told me that you believe that God desires his children to have happy marriages and satisfying sex lives and that you can testify to his healing touch for sexual brokenness.

Yes, ma'am, that's absolutely true.

I share some of my story on my blog, and I know we'll talk about that later, but yeah, I come from my own sexual trauma and all the baggage that brought

into marriage. So I definitely believe that God can heal and I've seen it happen.

Well, that just makes you an effective helper too, having gone through the process. So praise

God. Yes, amen. Yeah. So, and you have a private practice and that's in Norfolk, Virginia?

Yes, it is. That's correct. So I am in Norfolk and that's where my private practice is. So I see clients there really just three days a week, Monday, Wednesday, Friday. So it's kind of a part-time practice in that regard.

Okay. And you write, as you mentioned, and what's your blog's URL?

So the URL is be fully well.com. And so, yeah, I do write occasionally and actually working on a book now with a colleague as well.

Very good. That's exciting. When do you think that'll come out? Oh, it's going to be a while. We're actually working on the proposal right now to see if we can get into a publisher's hands.
