LGBTQ+ Sex Therapy: Shame, Kink, Trauma & Queer Affirming Care ft. Kelly Ghweinem

Send us Fan MailSex therapy is for everyone — but not everyone has access to a therapist who truly understands their identity, relationships, and needs. In this episode, Dr. Stephanie Zwonitzer, DNP, sits down with Kelly Ghweinem, AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, private practice owner, and co-founder of Erotic Intimacy Academy, to talk about sex therapy for all individuals with a specific focus on queer affirming care and non-traditional relationships. Kelly brings over 10 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families across a wide spectrum of sexualities, genders, and relationship orientations, and she writes an intimacy and relationship column for OutSFL, the leading LGBTQ+ newspaper in South Florida. Topics covered: what queer affirming sex therapy actually looks like and why it matters, navigating shame around kink, fetishes, and non-conventional desires, sex therapy after substance use disorder recovery, trauma healing and its impact on sexual intimacy, discrepant desire in relationships and how to bridge the gap, anorgasmia and erectile challenges across all gender identities, ethical non-monogamy and non-traditional relationship structures, and how to find a therapist who is truly affirming of your identity and lifestyle. Find Kelly at eroticacademy.net and velvetcollective.org for resources, programs, and therapy services.Work with Dr. [email protected] with Between the Sheets:IG: @ReviveISHEmail: [email protected] on ED: https://EDCure.com/BTS
