Ep 171 Q&A: What to do When There’s No More Attraction

In this Q&A episode, a listener wrote in asking what to do with the knowledge that their partner is no longer physically attracted to them. When a relationship reaches the point where we are no longer having sex and we are on the verge of a break up - what advice would we give?  We’re talking about: Acknowledging the pain and difficulty about the situation on both sides. Letting go of the tendency to focus all of our energy on the negative, so that we might see this as an invitation back to ourselves and a way to reconnect with our individual turn ons.Realizing that relationships and life ebb and flow, and how we might have important conversations with one another to dig deep and ask, “Is this about their attraction to me, specifically, or do one or both of us not have a vibrancy for anything in life right now?”Remembering that the longevity of a relationship does not determine the level of happiness or success, and that a relationship ending doesn’t mean it was a failure.

Om Podcasten

Vanessa Bennett and Dené Logan are two soul sisters and therapists who connected over their shared love of depth psychology—known as the psychology of the soul. It is a template for diving beneath the surface to examine the complex natures of being human while on the quest for wholeness, including the relationship to spirit. Through their training and lived experiences with depth, yogic psychology, and mindfulness, they developed a passion for supporting others in living their most authentic lives while cultivating a fulfilling and rich relationship with the Self, capital “S.”Every Wednesday, Vanessa and Dené look to demystify, de-stigmatize, and desensitize what goes on both inside the therapy room and in daily life, through soul-provoking conversations with fellow seekers, thought leaders, changemakers, and real people during live coaching sessions as they navigate the hard work it takes to be a human.This podcast is, for sure, Cheaper Than Therapy. Follow Cheaper Than TherapyInstagram: @cheaperthantherapypodcastTikTok: @cheaperthantherapypodYouTube: @cheaperthantherapypodcastConnect with Vanessa:Instagram: @vanessasbennettTikTok: @thecodayodaYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@vanessabennettlmft5631 Connect with Dené:Instagram: @dene.loganTikTok: @denelogan
