Beyond Labels: Navigating Low Desire, Asexuality, and Therapy Pitfalls


Listen Later

Picking up right where they left off last week, hosts Dr. K. Skye Henry Smith and Martha Kauppi continue to clear up myths about low desire and asexuality. From exploring how labels can help or hinder understanding to highlighting common therapy pitfalls when addressing sexual identity and desire, each host offers a number of practical insights and clinical takeaways.

This is part two of a conversation that began with last week's episode, When More Sex Isn't the Goal: Honoring Desire Differences
