In this episode of “Let's Talk About Love, Sex, and Infidelity,” we're exploring the surprising connection between conflict avoidance and physical intimacy. As a couples therapist, I've seen firsthand how avoiding tough conversations can put a damper on your sex life. But don't worry – I'm here to help you understand why this happens and what you can do about it!

• Practical tips to overcome conflict avoidance and improve your connection

I'll share personal stories, client experiences (keeping everything confidential, of course), and give you actionable advice you can start using today.

So, grab your partner (or listen solo – that's okay too!) and join me as we make the world safer for love, one conversation at a time. Trust me, your future self (and your partner) will thank you for tuning in. Let's dive in and start building the passionate, connected relationship you deserve!
