What You'll Hear In This Episode:
How does the intersection of faith and therapy play out for Dr. Gornto as a pastor and a therapist? Do the two overlap?
What are some of the trends in dating and relationships that Dr. Gornto has been seeing more of in his practice?
Ways we can do better in sexual education, and have real, honest, and safe discussions about sex with the next generations.
One of the things Dr. Gornto does is help his clients learn to sit with their own anxiety and discomfort when they set boundaries and start standing up for themselves.
More people see sexuality from a broader perspective. However, it's important to know the distinction between what you want and what you are doing from a people-pleasing perspective.
It's important for you to have sexual pleasure as well and to remember it's not just about the man.
Why is sex so hush-hush in our society when everyone does it?
More from Dr. Gornto's work, along with how to work with Sherry and Carla on overcoming codependency, dating, break-ups, healing from toxic relationships, and gaining confidence.
