Building Sexual Friendship
The concept of sexual friendship emerges as a transformative path towards healing and intimacy. By redefining sex as an expression of friendship that requires emotional safety, vulnerability, and open communication, they aim to rebuild their connection through shared understanding, acceptance, and exploration.
Embracing Emotional Vulnerability
Through an exercise involving the core emotion wheel, the couple bravely delves into their raw emotions, addressing anger, fear, sadness, loneliness, hurt, guilt, shame, but also uncovering pockets of joy and hope. This process highlights the importance of emotional healing, empathy, and mutual support in nurturing their sexual and emotional bond.
After recording last week's episode, but Dr. Glenn and Phyllis hill, we stayed on and chat a little longer. We got started talking about sex dates and how Glen and Phyllis look forward to this time. So I suggested we record another episode to share this fun and creative concept with you.
