How Your Brain Sabotages Your Sex Life! l Dr. Daniel Amen Explains

How Your Brain Sabotages Your Sex Life! l Dr. Daniel Amen Explains

In this episode of Sex with Emily, renowned psychiatrist and brain expert Dr. Daniel Amen joins us to explore how our "hidden dragons", the unconscious patterns from our past, are secretly controlling our happiness, relationships, and sex lives. Based on his latest book, "Your Brain is Always Listening," Dr. Amen reveals how childhood experiences, family trauma, and even ancestral patterns get written into our brains and show up in our intimate relationships. We dive deep into the most common dragons people face, including the anxious dragon, the abandoned and insignificant dragon, and the codependent dragon. Dr. Amen shares his personal journey with these patterns and explains how understanding your dragons can transform not just your mental health, but your sexual wellness too. We explore the connection between brain health and sexual function, why ADD can impact orgasms, and how negative thought patterns become "bad habits" that sabotage intimacy. This episode includes practical tools like positivity bias training, the power of rewriting your story, and specific breathing techniques that can reset your nervous system. Dr. Amen also addresses a listener's question about cheating addiction and explains how brain scans revealed the neurological patterns behind compulsive behavior. Whether you're struggling with commitment issues, sexual anxiety, or just want to understand how your brain affects your love life, this conversation offers both scientific insights and actionable strategies for creating healthier relationships.

SWE: Guest Dan Abrams

SWE: Guest Dan Abrams

Emily discusses why women are simply better than men with television host, legal analyst, and best-selling author Dan Abrams. Abram uses research to invalidate sexist cliches about the differences between men and women in his book, Man Down: Proof Beyond a Reasonable Doubt That Women Are Better Cops, Drivers, Gamblers, Spies, World Leaders, Beer Tasters, Hedge Fund Managers, and Just About Everything Else. Emily corroborates Abrams findings while her co-host Menace is skeptical, wondering if Abrams just wrote the book to get laid. But Emily doesn't think Abrams needs to write a book celebrating women to do well with the ladies (she used to date Abrams herself). Contrary to popular opinion, Abrams argues why women are better at driving and making decisions. Men on the other hand are better at parking and getting hit by lightening. Hosted on Acast.
