Our Sex Life is a Disaster

We hear from a couple who have long been happy in their marriage,
except for one thing: their sex life. In moments of intimacy, one
freezes, the other hesitates, and they end up locked in a cycle of
uncertainty and distress. On the precipice of becoming parents,
they come to Esther worried about how their sex life might further
deteriorate in this next stage of life. Is it possible to restore
the magical physical connection that they once felt? Esther guides
them through somatic exercises to re-establish trust, discover
pleasure, and help them move together from their minds into their
bodies. Producer’s Note: When our anonymous guests do a
session with Esther for the podcast, it is an act of generosity for
everyone who listens. These sessions are meant not only to support
the people in the room with Esther, but all of us who learn from
their stories. Our stories have many chapters, and what you hear is
just one moment in someone’s journey. So even though the sessions
are anonymous, please remember that real people are behind them and
they may be reading your comments. Also, please join me on Entre
Nous, my new home on Substack for anyone who wants to live, love,
and work with more connection and imagination. I invite you to sign
