Feeling desired & being intimate

from Children of Divorce · host Lydia Nathenson

Sometimes we just want connection and we want to feel that we are cared for. In today’s episode, I speak about my relationship with wanting to be desired and how my journey with intimacy has changed throughout the years.* I want to specify, there is no shame here. NO guilt. When I say that I felt disgusting, I am not calling you disgusting, I am just sharing how I felt after certain intimate moments with people. Another trigger warning, the topic of sexual abuse is briefly mentioned. *I am brutally honest in the episode today, with myself, with what I’ve been through, with how I act now with boys and with how I used to act. I just share, and try to make sense of it, and I share some more. I hope you find comfort in my story, I hope you find comfort in the fact that you are not alone. At the end of the day, we just want to feel good in our bodies and loved. You are not to blame, you have nothing to feel guilty for - everyday you try your best, and one day it will make sense and be ok. I love you guys, take care XXX Lydia ‘Children of Divorce’ is available wherever you get your podcasts, including Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTubeFind me on TikTok & Instagram under @childrenofdivorcepod and @lydianathenson
