Couples communication barriers and therapy timing
Kate highlights common communication blocks, fear and resentment, and advises earlier couples therapy intervention.
In this episode, we demystify sex with past guests Emily Morse, Dr. Kate Balestrieri, and Shan Boodram. Sex is an important part of our daily lives, and how we approach it greatly affects our relationship and connection to our partners and selves.
