562: Sexual Withdrawers

Welcome Brave Lovers! If you don't want to have sex and your partner always does this is the episode for you! Join hosts, Laurie and George as they expand on the world of the sexual withdrawer. We explore why the sexual withdrawer may shut down when the pressure cycle is on; past trauma, relational issues, resent or just downright bad sex and provide the valuable language withdrawers need to communicate to their pursuing partners. We get curious and ask what does not wanting to have sex mean and how the withdrawer can pay attention to what is happening inside of them. Their excellent role play walks listeners through a bad take and good conversation. You'll take away ways to identify what is happening when I don't want to have sex, where that shut down is coming from, how to share and better express needs. Want more help here?
