I don't know what it was about this winter, but it seems people were struggling more than ever. It was coming out in every conversation as if they were so full of pain, that even unloading it on a stranger was preferrable to holding it inside. 

I don't mind. In fact I am an unexpected...

Recently a dear friend of mine experienced a breach in her marriage.

A deep sense of betrayal overcame her when her partner told her that she is the love of his life, AND/BUT he needs to be able to date younger women to satisfy his lust.

The internalized social conditioning prizing youth and...

It's February. About 6 weeks into the new year and the rush of the holidays, and the sparkly hope of the new beginning has long faded, taken over by the reality of daily responsibilities. If you are one of the few who has made a promise to themselves to follow a dream, or a desire and is...

The orgasm gap is cultural, not biological.

What that means is that women’s orgasms aren’t more complicated than men’s, but we were made to believe that they are. 

Let’s Talk About Orgasm:

From textbooks to popular media, novels, erotica, porn and Hollywood, the...

For generations, women have been influenced by a sex-negative culture.

Sex And Culture:

Conflicting messages from religions, media, advertising, and the medical community, simultaneously push the model of a “good, moral woman”, exploit women’s bodies to sell stuff, celebrate...

Consider any area of your life. I mean anything. Do you feel that you are just right? Not too much, not too little, but just the perfect measure of enoughness?

If you are a woman raised in a patriarchal society, being enough may feel as attainable as becoming a Disney princess. Enoughness is like...

I am yet to meet a Woman, who has not been shamed, criticized or rejected for ...being a woman. And I don't even mean the overt hostility, violence, and oppression that women experience in some religious regimes. I mean women in the Western cultures, generally enjoying the privilege of...

Me: I am terrified. They are judging me. I can't let them show I care. I will look stupid. I am so ashamed I want to sink into the ground. This is too much, I don't care any more... 

Them: She is a cold, stuck up bitch. She is proud. She thinks that she is better than everyone else. She's...

When was the last time when you felt your own rich, deep, luscious, curvy, and un-constricted sensuality? When was the last time you ran your hand through your hair, not to fix it, but to feel the silky threads between your fingers? When was the last time you felt goosebumps at your own...

I talk to women about pain every day. As a clinician, I have a unique insight into women's bodies and their lives. We talk about the physical pain, which is usually why they come to see me. Where it is, how bad, it's history and unique qualities. But unlike mainstream approach, for me that is not...

I was teaching a class this week. It was one in the series on embodiment, and it was about how to increase the capacity for, and experience of pleasure in the body. 

That morning I woke constricted, nauseous, and agitated. At first I thought I didn't sleep well. I was reading news about...

I was what you might consider beautiful. So much so, that I had a successful career as an international model. I was shy and insecure, but this was some external validation that as much as I felt worthless most of my life, at least I had my looks. 

From early on I received messages from...
