How to Heal Sexual Shame and Reignite Desire in a Long-Term Relationship with Jannine MacKinnon

from Libido Lounge · host Dr. Diane Mueller

So many of us carry hidden shame around sex and our bodies, often without realizing where it comes from. It’s not always the big, obvious traumas that hold us back. Sometimes it’s the small moments, a comment from a partner, or years of messages that made us feel something about us was “wrong.” In this episode, we explore how those experiences shape the way we connect, desire, and open up during intimacy. You’ll learn how to start releasing shame, feeling safe in your body again, and rebuilding a deeper connection to your pleasure. From understanding the mind-body link to using gentle practices like mirror work and affirmations, this conversation will help you reclaim your confidence, heal your relationship with sex, and step into your full sensual power.
