Ep 048: What Happens In & Out of the Bedroom feat. Dr. Lauren Fogel Mersy

Ready to find out how to create healthy relationships IN and OUT of the bedroom? Leanna and Jared welcome clinical psychologist and sex therapist, Dr. Lauren Fogel Mersy to talk about her expertise in working with couples, both on their relationships and relationship to sex. Dr. Fogel Mersy goes into detail about Gottman theory and how it works in navigating the health of a relationship. She describes what the four horsemen are, how they can negatively affect relationships and the antidotes needed to keep the relationship alive, including how to approach someone with a complaint, how to soothe yourself when you're feeling "flooded" and how to keep the relationship bank in balance. Dr. Fogel Mercy also discusses some common problems that bring clients in for sex therapy, including, low sexual desire, unbalanced sexual desires in the relationship, performance anxiety and specific work with LGB and trans clients. The three then wrap up the conversation with some fun questions about orgasms! Leanna and Jared also catch up as they discuss their current romantic status', Leanna's new job and an in-depth conversation about the "bush".
