What you’ve been doing hasn’t been working or you wouldn’t be here right now! What you need is a new perspective and a new approach, so here are my top five tips to create the intimacy you’ve been craving if you and your partner have different sex drives.

Gaslighting is a dangerous form of manipulation where someone acts in such a way that you start doubting your perceptions, your memory or your own judgment. You often walk away from the conversation feeling like the crazy one. Gaslighting is a common theme among narcissists but it can show up in many different types of relationships. Today, I'll teach you the signs of gaslighting so you can get clearer about whether this is happening in your life and I’ll walk you through my process to feel happier and more confident in that relationship.
