In this episode, PolySoCal welcomes Brianna Bass, therapist and board certified clinical sexologist, for a deep, practical conversation about burnout, intimacy, nervous system regulation, and how relationship patterns show up under stress. Brianna shares insight from her neuroscience based approach, helping the panel unpack pursuer withdraw dynamics, emotional fatigue, boundaries, and how partners can become either energy drains or energy reservoirs.
The group explores real world challenges including work burnout, chronic exhaustion, communication breakdowns, jealousy patterns, and how intentional connection through the eight forms of intimacy can rebuild closeness. From scheduled quality time to financial intimacy, the episode stays grounded in lived experience, offering listeners concrete tools for navigating modern relationships, especially in ethical non monogamy.
