درباره این اپیزود
Today's episode will change how you communicate. How do I know? Because it changed how I did.
In this episode, I sit down with Ruffus, affectionately known on socials as the Poly-Kink Therapist, to discuss communication, sexual agency, and the vital lessons we can learn from the kink community.
If you've ever had scripts in your head that tell you what you can and can't ask for, what is and is not allowed, get ready to finally claim your power and transform the way you communicate with me and Ruffus.
We explore:
* How to reclaim your agency through better communication
* How to create a container conversation and why it will change your relationships forever.
* The three things you must ask about when opening your relationship.
* How the pup community can teach us to be more accepting.
* How to navigate differences in sex or libido.
