In learning the difference between reacting and responding and where those two impulses belong,

reacting belongs on stage.

Because that's when you're not thinking, you're totally present and you're reacting to the moment.

Acting is reacting. So when I'm working, that's when I turn that switch on, open that door, and I can be just be there.

When I'm home, I got to respond from choice. And the choice is to be a better person.

You're listening to Sex with Emily. I'm Dr. Emily and I'm here to help you prioritize your pleasure and liberate the conversation around sex.

You got to love relationship advice delivered in a thick New York accent.

Well, I've got Adam Faire on the show today and we're healing your emotional triggers so you can have thriving interpersonal connections.

Kapish? Adam and I talked meditation and breath work for anxiety. The difference between responding and reacting to your partner.

How to cultivate a felt sense of your emotions and the difference between worry and responsibility.

As a self described codependent Catholic Italian, Adam is as real as he gets about getting vulnerable and doing self works.

You can experience better love, sex, and communication.

We also help a caller in her 20s get more selfish in the bedroom because when it comes to sex, well, selfishness can be a real virtue.

All right, intentions with Emily for each episode. Join me in setting an intention for the show. I do it. I encourage you to do the same.

What do you want to get out of this episode? My intention is to help you hear from other people who feel stuck in their sex life and relationships to let you know you're not alone.

And once you hear Adam's positive reframes around them, I think you're going to feel a lot better. You're probably going to laugh too because let's be honest, it's Adam.
