Customer Reviews
Love!!
Love this podcast so so much! Such important conversations & thoughtful interviewing.
Important!!
Absolutely wonderful! Sooo exciting to hear occupational therapists talk about sex and intimacy in such a candid, educational, and inclusive way. This is what we need in the field! Brave practitioners who put their duty as holistic care above their own stigma or biases! I love OT now, but this podcast has given me a wonderful vision of what it could be in the future! 💗
Finally!!!
I am so excited about this podcast! Sex is such an important ADL that is often avoided or overlooked in the clinical setting. I dedicated my graduate program research project to researching this topic as it pertains to elder populations and learned so much. This podcast helps to normalize sex as well as open the discussion among professionals and patients! Thank you OT After Dark!
