Language of Love with Dr. Laura Berman

Ready, Willing, but Unable


Listen Later

Sex … it gets easy with marriage, right? In a perfect world, this is how things work, but our world is far from perfect, and those imperfections often follow us into the bedroom. As much as we’d like to think otherwise, when you “put a ring on it” you won’t necessarily spontaneously release any predisposed inhibitions you have around sex.

This week, our Language of Love Session dives into this topic with a listener who is ready, willing, but unable to enjoy sex with her husband due to core inhibitions she didn’t realize she was still carrying. I help her get to the root of her aversion to being sexual and share insights and tools that will get her and her sex life back on track. 

In today’s episode you will learn:

  • How to find the missing piece of your sex life. 
  • How to come back to your body and stay there for true intimacy and pleasure.
  • When and how outside help can make all the difference
  • Ways to make intimacy feel safe.
  • How to build a better sex life without making sex feel like work. 
  • Sex is one of the most pleasurable experiences life has to offer. If you find yourself stranded at a bedroom impasse, the good news is that help is available.
