In this episode Alissa Kriteman interviews Dr. Susan Campbell about the importance of telling the truth while dating. We cover the 10 Truth Skills Dr. Campbell has designed to help us become more effective in communicating our truths in the delicate first stages of getting to know someone. In the first segment we discuss the benefits of telling the truth and the gifts that come from allowing our true nature to be revealed. We talk about setting up “agreements” in relationships and learn about the “language” of truth telling and learn some great techniques for communicating our desires and feelings in ways that others can hear them and respond in kind. In the second segment we get into the first five “Truth Telling Skills” and learn their importance in helping us take control of ourselves in any situation, be more responsible for our thoughts and therefore actions, and getting feedback from those we are with thus gaining great intimacy and connection instead of confusion and disconnection. In the last segment we discuss the rest of the Truth Telling Skills and then discuss asking for what we want regarding Sex. We talk about getting over “shame” and fears of revealing our deepest desires. Dr. Susan talks about a provocative card game she has devised to help people discuss their sexuality and desires in a fun and open way.
