Do I Really Hate Men?

Ep. 55 The Power of Truth - Sexual Shame and Building Bonds with Your Child


Listen Later

This week Ang is joined by the wonderful Dr. Tina Schermer Sellers. A licensed sex and gender feminist physiotherapist, author, researcher and professor whose expertise covers sex therapy, spiritual intimacy, parenting and social justice. In this expansive interview with Ang, Tina shares her valuable insights on the importance of creating strong bonds with your children. Sometimes that will be through difficult conversations and sometimes through your actions. However, being open and honest, as Tina explains, is a pathway to a wonderfully rewarding parent and child relationship.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Tina has a wealth of experience and her services cover a broad range of subjects. But she didn’t just arrive there overnight. She explains to Ang how her early career as a therapist brought up more questions than answers and how that set her on a quest for knowledge. 
  • One of the big areas Tina tackles in her work is sex therapy. She explains to Ang how our attitudes about sex are developed from a very early age, and without knowing, embed behaviours in us so deeply we don’t even know they exist. 
  • Forming a bond of trust with your child is one of the most important things you can do as a parent. Ang and Tina discuss their individual experiences of having difficult conversations with their children and how this led to a stronger relationship with them in the long term. 
  • As Ang has highlighted many times in the past, being a single parent is one of the hardest jobs you can have. Drawing on her wealth of knowledge and years of experience, Tina gives her advice on how to approach this role. 

BEST MOMENTS

“You don’t need to figure everything out, you just need to be two years ahead of your kids.”

“Be brave enough to look at your past and then you can begin to heal your present.”

“When you open up to your children you are communicating with them that you are brave enough to talk about hard subjects with them.”

ABOUT THE PODCAST

Do I Really Hate Men?

Interesting question and one I have asked myself many times. This is not an ‘I hate men’ podcast neither is it just an account of my divorce and the many awful events leading up to and during it. This podcast is a safe space to delve into what happens when relationships end, it provides guidance on how to carry on being a functioning adult and/or Single Mum when you feel broken inside. 

This podcast provides hope sprinkled with humour, at times its emotional at times inspiring and at times sad. I have a message to share with women around the world, come join me and your global sisters for a weekly dose of Superhero Mum inspiration and stories.

My mission - to help women and mothers globally to recover from relationship pain,  lead meaningful happy lives and inspire their children to succeed.

NOTE – I need you to know that I don’t hate men! It’s important that you know there are many great men out there. Many fantastic fathers and single fathers trying hard to do a great job. I know little about the struggles of single fathers; however, I presume they are numerous common issues we share with these amazing men who strive to do the right thing by their children.
