“We all deserve to have a wholehearted education, information, conversation about sex... because if we don’t, we end up acting it out in all kinds of ways, including infidelity.”
Top Takeaways from this Extraordinary Conversation:
“I think it’s so easy to have people help us in different aspects of our lives, right? Like a plumber or a nutritionist. And then [couple’s therapy] is kind of the same thing. It’s just asking for help in a different aspect of your life.”
1. Emotional intimacy Is key
As someone who's been in my fair share of relationships, I can tell you that communication is everything. That's why I loved Dr. Solomon's point about how emotional and sexual intimacy are intertwined. Prioritizing open and honest communication with your partner can help build a strong foundation for a fulfilling partnership.
2. There's no shame in seeking help
This one really hit home for me. We all do it for everything from fixing a leaky faucet to getting in shape – why not seek help with your relationships? Couples therapy provides a safe space for exploring and addressing relationship challenges, and it's a sign of strength and commitment to personal growth.
3. Couples therapy isn't just about fixing problems – it's an opportunity for personal growth
This one was a real eye-opener for me. Through therapy, you can develop communication skills, gain deeper insights into yourself and your partner, and enhance your connection on a whole new level.
4. Challenge your expectations about relationships
I definitely fell into the trap of thinking that relationship skills should come naturally – but nobody ever taught us! Recognizing this reality can help us approach relationships with self-compassion and a willingness to learn and grow.
5. Empower yourself by exploring your sexuality
'When I know better, I do better,' Maya Angelou said. Writing erotica, for example, can be a powerful tool for self-reflection and self-awareness – helping you communicate your needs to your partner and create a more fulfilling sexual connection.
