Do you face some difficulty with getting an erection or prolonging ejaculation during sex?

Does sex to you feel like a task to tick off your to-do list and move on to the next thing?

We live in a society where men consider talking about sexual weakness a taboo. So many men walk around not feeling sexually fulfilled and are unable to open up about these issues to anyone around them out of fear of being shamed.

In this week's mini-episode, I talk about something that has been coming up in coaching sessions again and again, how we live out of our dysfunction story.

I give you some examples of what it might look like for you and how to stop doing it!

Do you desire a relationship full of transparency and freedom?

Are you comfortable crying in the presence of your partner and feeling vulnerable?

Can you be completely honest with your partner, and do you feel safe loving wholeheartedly?

Relationships can be a tough journey to navigate for partners. We carry scars from experiences and circumstances in our past that influence how we act as partners in different situations. In this episode, I discuss the concept of safety in relationships and how to open up and be completely transparent with your partner. We explore being vulnerable and how the expression of these feelings, which are generally discouraged in relationships, can transform intimacy and connection in your relationship.

Safety is about far more than physical safety. Safety is the ability to express our thoughts, feelings, wants, needs, desires and ideas and still receive love and stay connected. 

🔐 The Key topics are:

👫 Safety in our relationships

👫 Why do we hide things?

👫 Do we feel safe making a mistake

👫 Are we comfortable crying

👫 Do we feel safe to love wholeheartedly

👫 Reacting to our emotions and our partners

👫 Creating an environment where you can feel comfortable react

👫 Creating an environment for sexual exploration and expression

👫 The importance of listening

👫 Structures for difficult conversations

It's been a little while since I have done a mini-episode and the reason for that is that I have been away on a couple of retreats. One of which was ISTA level 1. 

I had an amazing time and a profoundly life-changing experience, and I don't use those words lightly, I really don't.

This is me talking about my experience. It's important to note that I don't talk about the rituals, exercises or other people's experiences.
