Description
Description:
Based on Perel’s bestseller, Mating in Captivity, this bold take on intimacy and sex grapples with the obstacles and anxieties that arise when our quest for secure love conflicts with our pursuit of passion. We will tackle eroticism as a quality of aliveness and vitality in relationships extending far beyond mere sexuality, and consider how the need for secure attachment and closeness can co-exist with the quest for individuality and freedom.
Educational Objectives:
- Learn innovative strategies to reconcile the need for safety and stability with the need for separateness and passion.
- Discover how our emotional history translates itself into our erotic blueprint.
- Learn how love and desire relate, but also conflict.
