Unlock the transformative power of open dialogues about sexual health with our special guest, Kaya Spicer, a licensed clinical social worker and board-certified sex therapist. Explore how normalizing conversations about sex in therapy can empower clients with self-awareness and knowledge, crucial for overall wellness. Kaya brings a unique perspective, not only as a therapist but also as a passionate dog sitter, illustrating the role of joy and play in leading a fulfilling life. Together, we break down the barriers that prevent honest discussions around sexual health, providing insights into how therapists can create a safe space for these conversations.

Journey with us into the realms of intimacy and self-communication, where we dissect the impact of miscommunication and reliance on inaccurate sources like pornography on relationships. Kaya illuminates the path to understanding one's sexual identity throughout life's stages, stressing the significance of distinguishing sex from various forms of intimacy, such as financial and social. We discuss the challenges faced by those with a history of trauma in expressing their needs and recognizing their self-worth, and the importance of building intimate relationships grounded in communication and consent. Prepare to expand your understanding of intimacy beyond material gestures, and embrace a more holistic view of personal connections.
