Coronavirus: Sex, Connection & Mental Health w/ Kate Loree - Ep 123

Does COVID-19 have you spiraling? Then DROP EVERYTHING. You need to listen to episode 123 of American Sex Podcast STAT. Kate Loree, LMFT dishes out practical advice for dealing with Coronavirus anxiety and gives tips for soothing distressed loved ones. Many of us are experiencing PTSD reactions from pandemic panic plus it's affecting the mental health of those in alt-sex/relationship communities like BDSM, non-monogamy, LGBTQ+ and sex workers who are losing their livelihoods. Coronavirus is impacting our access to sexuality and physical connection too--which is something many of us need for comfort, especially during trying times. Kate also answers the burning question, "Why are we buying so much damn toilet paper?" and the answer might surprise you. This conversation is jam-packed with workable solutions and free/low-cost resources for the mental turmoil we're all going through right now. With hope, all of this social distancing will actually bring us closer together as a community.
