    OCT 25

    Why Withholding Sex Destroys Relationships

    Monogamy is a contract: friendship, intimacy and sex. When one stops, that contract gets broken. So what makes it acceptable to opt out of intimacy with your partner? In this raw and honest conversation, Elliot and Lottie Passell-Syms explore the grief, loss and identity crisis that follows when sex disappears from a relationship, and ask the difficult question: should you give him sex? This episode delves into the complexities of desire, power dynamics and the real reasons couples stop connecting physically. We discuss why women often lose desire first, what men are actually asking for when they initiate sex, and how refusing intimacy can become a weapon that erodes the foundation of your relationship. Drawing on insights from relationship experts including Esther Perel's work on attachment models and David Snarch's concepts of heart-syncing connection, we explore how our relationship patterns shift depending on who we're with, and why understanding these dynamics is crucial for maintaining intimacy. What You'll Learn: • Why communication is the foundation of intimacy, not just sex • The devastating impact of withholding sex for months or years • What men really want when they ask for sex (it's not what you think) • How vulnerability and emotional connection fuel physical intimacy • The role of power and control in sexual refusal • Why "just have a few drinks and have sex" advice destroys relationships • Practical exercises to rebuild intimacy, starting with the Yab Yum pose • How family of origin patterns shape your sexual dynamics • The biological and emotional benefits of regular intimacy. Chapters: 00:00 Understanding Desire and Intimacy  03:13 The Impact of Withholding Sex  05:58 Men's Perspectives on Sex and Vulnerability  09:00 Communication as the Foundation of Intimacy  11:50 Negotiating Sexual Dynamics in Relationships  15:01 The Role of Power in Withholding Sex  17:52 Rebuilding Intimacy Through Connection  21:11 Practical Exercises for Couples: The Yab Yum Pose  23:59 The Complexity of Relationships and Personal Growth About Our Guest: Lottie Passell-Syms is a psychosexual and relationship therapist qualified in CBT and hypnotherapy. She specializes in relationship difficulties, stress, anxiety, intimacy and infidelity recovery, helping couples navigate the most challenging aspects of their partnerships. Key Takeaways: "Monogamy is a contract: friendship, intimacy and sex. When one stops, that contract gets broken." "Choose your choices. You're not single. You chose this relationship." "Sex is good for us: brain, body and soul. The oxytocin lasts for 14 days. Why are we wasting it?" If you're in a relationship where intimacy has disappeared, this episode offers honest insights and practical tools to rebuild connection. The work requires effort, vulnerability and a willingness to hold up the mirror and ask yourself: why am I opting out, and how is it impacting my partner? Related Episodes: • Can I Be Me With You?

    Is This Your Discomfort or Mine? Navigating Disability Conversations POC-31

    We have an honest talk with with Poppy Tiltman, who's here to share her perspective on disability without the usual sugar-coating. In this candid episode, Poppy makes one thing clear from the start: she doesn't want to be your inspiration, and she's not here to make you feel good about yourself - thats your job! Living with cerebral palsy and autism, Poppy cuts through the typical feel-good narratives that surround disability discussions. Instead, she offers her genuine experience - what it's actually like to navigate a world that often prefers comfortable stories to uncomfortable truths. Hear Poppy's take on why "staying positive" isn't always the answer, her experiences with education systems that didn't quite work for her, and why finding real community matters more than collecting sympathy. She also shares her vision for "Access Granted," her new podcast designed to amplify authentic disabled voices rather than the polished versions that make everyone else comfortable. This isn't Poppy trying to overcome anything or be inspirational - it's her being human, being honest, and asking for something better. Poppy Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@accessgrantedwithpoppy Chapter Markers 00:00 - Poppy's Truth: I Don't Want to Be Your Inspiration** Poppy sets the tone by explaining why she rejects the inspiration label and what she actually wants from these conversations. 06:27 - Her Reality: What Disability Actually Looks Like** Poppy shares her honest experience of living with disability, moving beyond the usual sanitised narratives. 12:18 - Access Granted: Poppy's Vision for Real Stories** Poppy explains her new podcast and why she's committed to sharing authentic disabled experiences rather than inspiration content. 18:14 - Education Through Her Eyes: When Systems Don't Work** Poppy reflects on her experiences navigating educational systems and the challenges she faced along the way. 25:50 - Finding Her Community: Beyond Well-Meaning Sympathy** Poppy discusses the difference between genuine support and the often unhelpful responses disability attracts. 30:03 - Being Seen as Human: Beyond Her Conditions** Poppy talks about wanting to be seen as a whole person rather than just her disabilities or as inspiration fodder. 35:14 - Her Vision: Real Change, Not Just Nice Stories** Poppy shares her hopes for disability advocacy that prioritises truth and authenticity over comfort. From her perspective, education systems often failed to properly include her, and society's general awkwardness around disability creates unnecessary barriers. She values genuine community over well-meaning but misguided sympathy, and wants her voice heard on platforms that prioritise authenticity over feel-good content. Poppy wants to be seen as a complete person with her own agency, not reduced to her conditions or used as inspiration. Her approach to advocacy focuses on challenging systems and having uncomfortable but necessary conversations rather than just sharing uplifting stories that make everyone else feel better. Filmed in Winchester, Southampton (Note our Southampton accent) in the UK! Squrimey and Grubs AKa Shanye and Hannah. The two do a fabulous job of explaining how an interableld relationship ( when one person in the relationship is disabled and the other is not) can work out just like any other romantic relationship. They show how the dynamics work when your wife is also your main caregiver. They share funny, cute and occasionally embarrassing stories along with explaining how the general public reacts when they find out that the two are in fact married.Their social media How to find us: https://linktr.ee/theparadoxofchange

    Military Anxiety: From Crippling Dread to Helping Others Heal

    Former Royal Navy Lieutenant Commander Jamie Leaper shares his powerful journey from military service to becoming a therapist - and why being part of the 20% of male counsellors is changing how men engage with mental health. In this honest conversation, Jamie discusses: • The reality of military-to-civilian transition anxiety • Why the "veteran" label can be harmful • How injury recovery challenged his perspective on heroism • Why men are finally engaging with therapy • The importance of authentic, unapologetic therapeutic relationships Jamie discuss’s the challenges of transitioning from military life to civilian life, the impact of personal injury on their identity, and the importance of empathy in therapeutic relationships, and also critiques the hero narrative often associated with recovery, emphasising that not every story is a heroic one and that many individuals struggle with their own unique challenges. Ultimately, they advocate for understanding and supporting those who may not fit the traditional hero mold. Takeaways Anxiety can be a crippling experience that affects daily life. Transitioning from military to civilian life can be challenging and identity-shifting. Counselling can be a powerful way to help others navigate their struggles. Personal injury can lead to a reevaluation of one's identity and capabilities. The hero narrative can create unrealistic expectations for recovery. Empathy is crucial in building therapeutic relationships. Not every recovery story is a heroic one; many are mundane yet significant. Understanding one's own anxiety can enhance the ability to help others. The importance of psychoeducation in therapy cannot be overstated. It's essential to meet clients where they are, without judgment.
