Meet my sex therapist, Aleks Trkulja

Meet my sex therapist, Aleks Trkulja

*TW: This episode discusses eating disorders and sexual assault.*

"If your experience of pleasure happens in your body, but you're in a body that you hate.... how are you supposed to access pleasure? You have to pick whether you're going to punish your body forever or if you're going to forgive it."

In this episode of the podcast, Emma is joined by her (former) sex therapist, Aleks Trkulija, to chat through some of the key issues they covered in the therapy room, including:

  • Should you have sex when you don't want to?
  • How do body image issues affect sexual function and desire?
  • Why does shame play such a prominent role in sex?
  • What are the most important things we should be unlearning when it comes to our relationship to sex?
  • What is a pleasure journal?!
  • And how can we improve the relationship we have with our bodies?

If you are affected by any of the themes discussed in this podcast Samaritans are open 24/7 for anyone who needs to talk. You can visit some Samaritans branches in person. Samaritans also have a Welsh Language Line on 0808 164 0123 (7pm–11pm every day).
