Clear Counseling Choice

Happy Autism Acceptance Month! Let’s turn the great outreach of autism awareness into acceptance, which is more inclusive of the experience, thoughts, and voices of those in the autism community. ❤️😊

This article has great insight into what has been a common issue for clients I’ve been seeing lately, especially over the past 3-4 months when many have hit a pandemic-wall.

Many couples still have the desire for s*x but creating time and space for that needed intimacy feels like yet another task on the never ending
To Do list.

One suggestion I have for couples is to take the pressure off of s*x and focus more on pleasurable touch. Pleasurable touch triggers the brain to release oxytocin (the “cuddle hormone”) and decreases levels of stress hormones like cortisol. This can make moments of physical intimacy a relaxing time together, focusing more on nurturing your connection.
