Getting To Know Our Body with Shely Esses Commitment Phobe
-
- Self-Improvement
My guest today, Shely Esses, is such a refreshing human! I was taken back by her level of comfort talking about all things sex.
Shely believes in the importance of getting to know our body parts as a way of creating a deeper connection with ourselves.
She's very passionate about dissolving all of the shame that's intrinsically associated with sex and helping people heal their own sexual shame due to a number of reasons such as: lack of sexual education, lack of exploration of their own body and lack of conversations around sex and their sexual needs.
Topics we discuss:
- Shely sexual experience growing up in a religious Jewish background.
- Redifining the concept of "losing your virginity."
- The impact of the lack of in depth sexual education for children and teenagers.
- How our mind impacts our sexual experience and the connection between the mind and our sex organs
- How Shely helps patients with sexual conditions such as pelvic floor dysfunction or erectile dysfunction.
- The fears that show up for many men around hurting women that impact their sex.
- The changes being created by orthodox therapist that are out to transform how sex is viewed in orthodox communities.
Shely Esses is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist that works as a Sex and Relationship Therapist and Post-Partum doula that helps people unblock honest emotional expression and feel comfortable in their own skin and bodies.
