The Inner Child Isn't Just One Behavior

On this episode of #mensexpleasure, I chat with Carla Crivaro. Carla is a trauma-informed and certified Sex, Love & Relationship Coach. She works with men who experience sexual dysfunction and a lack of sexual desire after being present for the birth of their child. She also works with men who miss intimacy with their partner and feel disconnected from them since becoming a father. The two of us talk about what Carla has dubbed ‘The Forgotten Father’ phenomenon. We discuss the ways in which men struggle with fatherhood and how their childhood wounding can impact their relationships.

Key Points:

• Carla introduces herself
• What does it mean to be trauma-informed?
• The Forgotten Father phenomenon
• Releasing trauma from the body
• Men’s changes in desire
• Testosterone and fatherhood
• Inner child and parenting responses
