In conversation with Natasha Bachoo, Social Worker and Sex Therapist.

In this episode, Natasha demonstrates that sex therapy isn't nearly as daunting as it might sound. She provides suggestions for addressing negative emotions related to sexual challenges, alternatives to penetrative sex, advice on how to support a partner with sexual challenges, and how to find the right sex therapist for you. Natasha is based in Toronto, Ontario and is the only therapist I have felt totally comfortable talking to about these intimate details of life.
