S2E8 - The Psychology of Sex, with Dr Lauren Fogel Mersy

Today, we will be discussing the psychology of sex. This is a topic that makes many uncomfortable. There is a stigma when it comes to speaking about any difficulties one is experiencing with sex. However, many endometriosis sufferers are silently experiencing painful sex as a symptom of their disease. I will be speaking today to Dr. Lauren Fogel Mersy. Dr. Lauren is a psychologist, relationship therapist, and certified sex therapist. She specialises in sexual difficulties such as low libido, problems with arousal, orgasm difficulties, and sexual relationship problems. She is currently writing her first book about libido. Her practice is in Minneapolis, Minnesota.  If you enjoyed this episode, I would love to know. Join me on Instagram and Facebook.
