Ask A Sex Therapist with Heather Shannon

I appreciate what Heather shares about sexual intimacy, particularly that complimenting someone can feel vulnerable. It can! This is so often overlooked. We think about vulnerability as a tell-all of uncomfortable stuff, but that’s only a small part. Sharing what we like and what matters to us takes courage. Thanks, Heather, for bringing this to light, as the positive spin could help many a relationship, in bed and beyond. I also liked that you shared the importance of getting vulnerable with ourselves. Acknowledging what’s true for us is a form of self-care that leaves us more content in solitude and happier in partnership. Like, I’m being vulnerable because that’s the way I roll, and you can come along if you want. :) That’s your signature style, from my perspective, Heather. Whether you’re sharing about toe-bites from Felix (what a cutie!) or your experience getting vulnerable with a friend, you’re blazing the way for us all with stories from your own life. Thanks for showing us your path so we can more easily find our own. I love your show and recommend it to friends often!

I had a hard time picking an episode to start with because of the creative titles and descriptions. I thoroughly enjoyed the openness of this podcast and Heather does an amazing job of keeping the listener’s attention from start to finish. Will be checking out the Intimacy Audit as well!
