What happens when recovery focuses solely on stopping harmful behaviors but ignores the deeper work of connection? Stephen Thomas (coach at Choose Recovery Services) joins Alana this week and reveals why true sexual health must include your partner's experience and input. This conversation challenges conventional recovery approaches and offers a roadmap to the intimacy we all crave.

Learn more about Stephen and schedule a complimentary consultation. 

Listen to learn:

• The critical question every person in recovery should ask themselves regarding the impact of their choices

• Why boundaries aren’t punishment, and how they can actually create connection

• Why sexual health encompasses so much more than simply not acting out
