SEX ED FOR YOU: Where Research Meets Reality25 Okt 2023

Communication in Early Partnership

Welcome to Sex Ed For You: Where Research Meets Reality. The theme of episode 3 is communication; the main idea-- who are you, what do you want, where have you been, and where do you want to go? Lauren and I briefly discuss substance use and how it can effect partnership and compatibility. We agree that substance use and abuse are one of the most important things to discuss when considering partnership with someone! For information on codependency, we recommend: Codependent No More by Melody Beattie. We also talk about how Lauren and I react when digesting information or difficult conversations. Typically, people will deeply desire one of three things: solitude, silence, or stillness. This conversation leads us to consider what it's like dating though a trauma-informed lens, as some people struggle to understand another's inherent need for one of those three things: solitude, silence, and stillness. Then, H gives Lauren and the audience 20 questions to ask a potential partner. Here's the link to download that list for free (valid until Nov 1)! We also discuss what it looks like to shift your perspective on dating for fulfillment and dating to add to an already joyful and fulfilled life: a life where you love yourself enough to not depend on the love of another. Lastly, Lauren and I lament the feeling of being "too much" for people, both romantically and platonically. Lauren shares that her partner and husband, Trey, is the first to truly affirm her "too much-ness." For more information on doing power differently, we recommend Cassandra Speaks by Elizabeth Lesser.
