Recovering Sex - the Sexvangelicals (Julia Postema and Jeremiah Gibson)
“There's a misconception that once you leave religion, you magically learn everything you missed about relationships and sex” - The Sexvangelicals
Our episode this week is with Jeremiah Gibson and Julia Postema, sex and relationship therapists, coaching and podcast hosts specializing in recovery from high-control religion as it relates to relationships and sexual intimacy.
Our conversation is full of candor, surprises and mic-drop moments over and over again. We were blown away by one thing that will leave you wanting more.
We chat through these questions:
1. Even after all these years many of us still tense at that word. How do we help foster curiosity around sexuality in our children as opposed to fear and shame?
2. How do we navigate the grief or trauma that can get activated for us as parents when talking about sexuality differently?
3. How do we lead our children through their questions when we are still working out our own thoughts and feelings on sexuality and sexual identity?
4. Are there tangible ways that we can heal our own wounds around sex while navigating all this with our own kids?
5. What do we do when we disagree with our kids’ choices around sex? How can we support their journey without shame?
6. How important is maintaining our own sex life in the midst of parenting? How can we do this when it feels like the last thing on the list?
Get ready to have your heart and mind and hopefully body open to new possibilities when it comes to healthy sex. There was one big surprising idea where we can all start no matter where we are in our relationship with this tricky and important subject.
If you have these questions:
How do we rebuild healthy, pleasurable, intimate relationships?
How do we give ourselves permission to be sexual people?
This is the podcast episode for you!!
