We all know that menopause can have a tremendous effect on our midlife partnerships and intimacy, but there are other factors that play a role in relationship satisfaction in this phase of life. Julie Lingler, a licensed sex and relationship therapist, has made it her mission to help individuals and couples get unstuck, from complacency or feeling trapped, to a healthier, happier place and a better understanding of how each other ticks.
In this episode Julie and I discuss:
-Why couples/individuals are seeking counseling most often
-Post-Covid relationship dynamics (Yes, it's a thing)
-Empty nesting - going from caregiver to what's next?
-Reinventing exciting, midlife sex and addressing sexual dysfunction
-Forgiveness after betrayal
