Janice and her guest (also dating partner) Steve LeBlanc get vulnerable chatting about how early abandonment trauma has impacted their later relationships and capacity for connection. In part 2 of their conversation, they dive into:

• Integrating the inner work into relationships
• Healing from infidelity
• Steve’s greater self-awareness of his triggers in present-day situations
• Experiencing secure attachment and freedom in a consensually non-monogamous relationship
• Developing a safe container to be present (and just be) in the relationship
• Healing sexual trauma and unlearning patterns in relationship
• How Steve’s earlier sexual experiences led to repressing his needs and being performative in later relationships
• The differences Steve has experienced between having sex with men versus women
• A spontaneous, real-time moment of processing between Steve and Janice about Steve’s internalized belief that women don’t want him sexually
• A mutually healing sexual experience between Janice and Steve
• The need for both clear communication and an understanding of the nuanced power dynamics in heterosexual relationships
• Steve’s understanding of his privileges and some ways he’s developed empathy
• What Steve hopes for going forward with connection and love
