Why Is It Still So Hard to Talk About Sex? | Brainz Podcast with Dr. Linda Fraim

Dr. Linda Fraim, Clinical Health Psychologist, Marriage & Family Therapist, certified Sexologist, educator, television host, and author, joins the Brainz Magazine podcast for a fascinating conversation on psychology, relationships, sexuality, communication, and holistic healing.

In this episode, she shares how an unexpected career journey led her from studying engineering to becoming an internationally recognised psychologist, and why life rarely unfolds according to plan. Drawing on decades of clinical practice, teaching, and public education, Linda explores common misconceptions about mental health, why true wellbeing depends on balancing the mind and body, and how our earliest experiences shape the way we connect with others.

The conversation also explores why conflict escalates, practical techniques for turning heated arguments into healthier conversations, the importance of trust and attachment in relationships, and why conversations around sex continue to feel uncomfortable despite living in a world with more information than ever before. Linda also shares insights from her extensive research into the history of sexuality, revealing how attitudes towards intimacy have evolved across different cultures and what those lessons can teach us about relationships today.

From the science of attachment to the history of sexuality, this conversation explores the many factors that shape how we love, communicate, and connect with one another.
