Episode 10: What Sex Therapists Want You To Know
In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Howard Eudy (couples and sex therapist) and Dr. Alex DiGrado, DPT, PRPC (pelvic floor physical therapist) talk about what sex therapy and couples therapy involve—from how to find a qualified therapist to what a session might look like. They explore how emotional and physical disconnection often show up together, and why getting support earlier (before things feel overwhelming) can make all the difference. This is a thoughtful, down-to-earth conversation for anyone looking to deepen connection, strengthen their relationship, or simply explore how therapy can support growth and intimacy.
You’ll learn:
- How to find a certified sex therapist (and what credentials to look for)
- What to expect from your first session
- The ways anxiety, communication, and touch all impact desire and connection
- What “homework” in sex therapy looks like (it’s probably not what you think)
Tune in if you’ve ever wondered:
- “When should we see a couples therapist? Is it just for people about to split up?”
- “What if we don’t have sex, but we get along well otherwise?”
- “Does sex therapy involve…sex?”
- “What if my partner won’t come with me to sex therapy?”
- “How do I even bring this up with my partner?”
