When you have a partner because you're saying: well, maybe whether this was the same partner you had when you weren't, because your partner also might be feeding off of you, they might be saying, well, I'm really scared to reintegrate a sexual relationship with you, because I don't want it to go back to how it used to be.
Ever wondered how addiction affects your intimate life? This episode of 'The Addicted Mind Podcast' dives into this sensitive topic with Liz Dube, a licensed marriage and family therapist and certified sex therapist. Host Duane Osterlind sits down with Liz to explore the challenges and solutions for finding sexual satisfaction in recovery. Liz shares her expertise on how addiction can disrupt our sexual experiences and the steps needed to rebuild a healthy intimate life.
She explains that many people in recovery struggle with being present during sex, often having relied on substances to feel uninhibited. Now sober, they must learn to navigate intimacy without those crutches. Liz emphasizes the power of open communication in relationships, noting that expressing desires and fears can significantly enhance intimacy. She also addresses common anxieties about sex in recovery, offering practical advice on overcoming these hurdles.
Therapy, according to Liz, plays a vital role in healing sexuality, providing a safe space to discuss and resolve sexual issues. Whether you're in recovery or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and hope for reclaiming a fulfilling intimate life.
