Anxiety Simplified - Beyond Traditional Psychology

Today we have a special guest Dr. Lindsey Brooks a sex therapist. 

Dr. Lindsey Brooks is a sex therapist turned sex educator. She has her Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology, is a certified sex therapist, and has been providing therapy since 2005.

She is thrilled to now be bringing her knowledge beyond the therapy room with her Sexual Empowerment School where she teaches women how to build their sexual self-knowledge, develop pleasure-positive mindsets, and learn sexual communication skills through her online workshops and resources. She is currently running an 8-week course for women.

She shares how developing a pleasure-positive mindset can be an integral part of mental wellness for women. Getting more on their sexuality and letting go of negative sex mindset. What sexual empowerment really means to women and getting people sex education.

She talks about how we pick up Sexual Scripts from society, tv and social media, especially for young couples and to avoid misinformation. She talks about scripts that can be relearned to reuse them. Letting go of sexual myths and letting go of negative sex mindset and into sexual empowerment. 

In her 8-week workshop, Dr. Lindsey helps to rewrite society or religious scripts for more of a pleasure centered mindset. Pleasure center sexuality or pleasure center parts of the body.

We Discussed how hard to separate emotions and sexuality.  This is where hurt feelings of shame and anxiety can be there if you are not on the same emotional page when having sex. Normalizing behaviors and emotions involved and reframing shame and focus on what that person enjoys to feel better.

Shame messages from religions message of impurity or that women are supposed to be the gate keeper of sex, either the good girl that should be the fun be a sexual girl having sex by the 3rd date. Or the exact opposite must be a virgin until marriage or you are a whore. It does not need to be a good or bad. And reframe as your own values to guide you.

What feels right, Pleasure is a normal experience of a human.  Women deserve pleasure in sex and for it to be mutual and reciprocated, not one-sided.

Not fear or shame just exploring experiences and see who they are now, it is okay and not a bad thing without pressures within your own way. What am I interested to explore within your comfort zone?

Break it down when to say NO: Talk first about it with your partner to be reciprocal between the couples wanted experience to find pleasure is important: Ask

1. This is what I want to explore and want to experience
2. What I will do or try
3. What I will not do or try.
