Description
Description:
Based on Perel’s Mating in Captivity, this bold take on intimacy and sex grapples with Ā the obstacles and anxieties that arise when our need for secure love conflicts with our Ā pursuit of passion. We will tackle eroticism as a quality of vitality in relationships extending Ā far beyond mere sexuality and show how reconciling these two competing Ā needs is at the heart of sustaining desire over time. We will address paradoxes of desire and how social Ā forces inhibit erotic expression; attachment history and the erotic blueprint; the transition to parenthood; and the role of fantasy/imagination.
Educational Objectives:
- Learn innovative strategies to reconcile the need for safety and stability with Ā the need for separateness and passion.
- Discover how our emotional history translates itself into our Ā erotic blueprint.
- Learn how love and desire relate, but also conflict.
