Dr. Thema and Dené Logan discuss the social pressures to conform and the negative effects of self erasure on individuals and relationships. Dene shares her incredible journey of reclaiming and her sense of self and the ripple effect this process had on her understanding of genuine intimacy.

Dené Logan is a Relationship Coach and Therapist, a group facilitator, and an author based in Los Angeles.

In addition to working with clients in private practice, she is a mindfulness coach, a yoga teacher, and specializes in supporting others

in showing up more authentically in all of their relationships - including (and perhaps most importantly) in the relationship with themselves.

Dené utilizes her background in depth psychology to infuse archetypes, ritual, and metaphysics

into the exploration of how each of us can reclaim the aspects of our authentic selves that we’ve been culturally conditioned

to turn away from in an attempt to maintain attachments.

Her first book, Sovereign Love: A Guide to Healing Relationships by Reclaiming the Masculine and Feminine Within,

is available now. You can connect with Dené further at denelogan.com or on IG: @dene.logan
