In episode #9 of Sex after Divorce with Juliana Neiman, we discuss ways of GROWING through the divorce process.  This program helps us understand the importance of healing past wounds prior to moving on to new relationships prematurely.

Juliana helps us detach from our past and move forward to new relationships and possibilities.

In this episode of The Intelligent Divorce with Dr. Mark Banschick, M.D., our topic is Fairness.

Many of us going through a divorce have felt we have been wronged and that much of what we are going through is unfair. We had hopes and dreams that our marriage would last forever and then one day, perhaps out of the blue, our partner tells us they want out of the marriage, you're served divorce papers or you discover your spouse has been having an affair.  Even the court system fails us in their attempt of fairness.

This can leave us feeling so betrayed and it all feels so unfair.  As parents, we have a duty to teach our children about fairness. The only fair outcome of your divorce would be to free yourself from what you believe was not fair and move on to a happier life, and in the process, provide an example to your children that there's a better life out there with acceptance. 

This program also features a powerful example of forgiveness from the biblical story of Job.  This is a MUST HEAR PROGRAM for any listener who feels that their divorce wasn't fair

In the seventh episode of Sex after Divorce with Juliana Neiman, our journey of the "sexual menu" continues as we discuss the taboo of anal sex and sexual fantasies.

Sex therapist Juliana Neiman provides a quick review of what we have learned since our first episode.  The information and advice provided in this series will help you to learn from mistakes made in past relationships, with the goal of entering into a healthier relationship in the future.

After divorce, it's quite normal for some individuals to lose their desire for a new sexual relationship, and you may even experience a fear of becoming sexually involved with someone new, due to your damaged sexual self esteem.  Juliana helps you understand how to address these feelings and move forward.

The program then addresses the taboo topic of anal sex and the creation of sexual fantasies with your partner as a way of broadening your sexual menu.  Juliana helps us remove the sexual roadblocks that may have negatively affected our sexual relationship with our ex and provides insight on how we might open our minds and communicate our needs in healthier ways for future relationships.
