Sexual Health, Shame & Silence: What Therapy Actually Addresses

Season 7 Episode 2

Send us a text

Most people don’t come to therapy saying, “I want to talk about sex.” 

They say, “I feel disconnected,” “Something’s wrong with me,” or “I don’t have the words.”

In this episode, we break the silence around sexual health and unpack what therapy actually addresses beneath the surface—shame, emotional safety, trauma, faith, culture, stress, and connection. This isn’t explicit, but it is honest.

We talk about:

  • Why sex is so saturated with shame
  • Common myths about discussing sexual concerns in therapy
  • The emotional and nervous-system roots of intimacy struggles
  • Why silence often does more damage than the issue itself
  • What healing really looks like (and what it doesn’t)

If you’ve ever wondered “Am I normal?”, felt behind, disconnected, or unsure how to name what you’re experiencing, this episode is for you.
