#159: Catherine Auman LMFT - How Intimacy Can Get Psychedelic

What if everything you were taught about intimacy was only half the story? Licensed therapist Catherine Auman joins me podcast to breakdown why the performance-based model of love-making is leaving so many people unsatisfied, how mindfulness practices (yes, even doing the dishes) can directly improve your climax, why female pleasure has been so misunderstood, the significance of eye contact, a few principles of tantra, why people fear intimacy, history of tantra, the flip side of the friend-zone, keeping a spark alive in a long term relationship, and much more. Catherine lived in a tantra ashram in India, has studied this work for decades, and brings the kind of warmth and clarity that makes even the most unfamiliar ideas feel completely accessible. Whether you're single, partnered, or just curious, this episode will change the way you think about your body, your relationships, and your pleasure.
