When More Sex Isn't the Goal: Honoring Desire Differences

In part one of a two-part episode, hosts Dr. K. Skye Henry Smith and Martha Kauppi explore common misunderstandings about sexual desire, asexuality, and a common, major therapy pitfall. From guiding clients on centering their own experiences to creating space for exploration, each host takes listeners through worthwhile interventions.  Part two will pick up right where this conversation leaves off, deepening the conversation around asexuality, how over-categorizing can be an inconvenience, and so much more.  Get Martha Kauppi's free guide for couples experiencing sexual challenges.
