A proposito di questo titolo

In this deeply illuminating conversation, host Sebastian sits down with Dr. Tina Schermer Sellers, a renowned therapist, professor, and author of groundbreaking works including Sex, God and the Conservative Church and Shameless Parenting. Dr. Sellers brings decades of expertise helping individuals and couples navigate the complex intersection of faith, family, sexuality, and intimate connection. This episode explores the hidden forces that have shaped modern attitudes toward sexuality and intimacy—from the political and religious movements of the 1980s that replaced comprehensive sex education with abstinence-only messaging, to the corporate and cultural agendas that continue to influence how we see our bodies, desires, and relationships. Dr. Sellers reveals how shame became embedded in our understanding of sexuality, and why so many people struggle to experience authentic intimacy as a result. The conversation moves beyond theory into practical, compassionate guidance on how to heal shame, communicate openly with partners, create emotional safety, and reclaim desire as a natural, beautiful part of being human. Dr. Sellers shares insights from her intimacy retreats for couples, the importance of understanding power dynamics in relationships, and how emotional intelligence and relational skills form the foundation not just for great intimacy, but for thriving in work, parenting, and life. Whether you're a CEO, entrepreneur, parent, or simply someone seeking deeper connection and self-acceptance, this episode offers a refreshing, shame-free framework for understanding yourself and building relationships rooted in honesty, respect, and joy.
