22 - About our family dynamics, sexuality and happiness with Prof. Desa Markovic (Part 2)

In this second part of the interview with Desa Markovic, Prof. in Systemic Psychotherapy at Regents University London, Nicoleta continues to explore the relationship between sexuality, family dynamics and happiness.

They look at the parenting styles and the importance of healthy boundaries and privacy in educating children. Sometimes we fail to notice how, as parents, we send messages about sex to our children that end up shaping their sexuality.

Learn why it is essential to know who you are and what you want in order to develop a healthy satisfying sexuality. 

Find how we develop sexual confidence and how the counselling and psychotherapy practice can help us all in this sense.

Explore what it means to have good sex, why do we lose our sexual desire and how the stresses of life influence our libido. 

Also, let’s ask some very other important questions: 

-       What is the difference between sex and sensuality? 

-       What is normal in sexuality,  and what we share and what we hide in our bedrooms? 

-       Who sets the norms and what standards define our sexual expectations and desires. 

-       Why there is still a lot of judgement around sex in the culture and psychotherapy as well?

-       What is asexuality and is it a sexual orientation in itself?

-       What are the most common sexual issues that clients bring into the therapy room? Between vanilla and kinky sex.

What sexual compulsions, porn and sex addiction bring into our lives.

And lastly, is sexuality related with our meaning and purpose in life?
