As a couples and intimacy therapist of 30 years I can tell you sometimes it actually serves your relationship to temporarily take s@x off the table, especially when the expectations and pressures around it are standing in the way of connection and/or one of you is working through some trauma . This is a clip from the latest languageoflovepodcast Session, where we continue Brian & Stacey’s journey as they navigate trust, intimacy, and past wounds. Brian feels like he’s trying everything—yet the intimacy still isn’t there. Meanwhile, Stacey struggles with trauma and the fear of truly opening up. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a relationship cycle, this episode is a good listen.
