In 'Taking Sexy Back', Dr. Alexandra H. Solomon provides a groundbreaking guide to help women own their sexuality and create meaningful relationships. The book addresses the complexities of sexuality, encouraging women to connect with their true sexual selves amidst conflicting and shame-inducing societal messages. It offers tools to deepen sexual self-awareness, understand boundaries, communicate desires, and bring mindfulness and self-compassion to sexual experiences. The book is organized into three parts, covering the preparation for the journey, the journey to sexual self-awareness, and maintaining a deeper sense of sexual self-awareness in modern relationships.
In 'Loving Bravely', psychologist Alexandra H. Solomon introduces the concept of relational self-awareness, encouraging readers to explore their personal history to understand their relational patterns, strengths, and weaknesses. The book is divided into four parts—self-reflection, self-awareness, self-expression, and self-expansion—and provides step-by-step guidance on how to develop the skills necessary for deeper, more intimate relationships. It emphasizes the importance of focusing on oneself to build a strong foundation for loving connections, beyond the myths of perfect romantic love.
Talking about the future can be scary – especially if you're not operating at the exact same speed as your partner. We're talking with Dr. Alexandra Solomon about how to navigate a pace discrepancy – whether it's becoming exclusive, moving in together, getting engaged, or entering whatever next life stage. We discuss how to share your needs without making it an ultimatum, tactics to help both the faster-paced and slower-paced partners, and why it's important to determine if you can eventually forward move together or if you simply aren't on the same page.
