Trust: it\u2019s the glue of relationships, even the more casual ones. Can I trust that this person is safe? That they aren\u2019t going to hurt me? Can I trust myself, that I\u2019ll know how to navigate this situation? These are the questions we all ask ourselves, even if it\u2019s subconscious. Our bodies and brains regularly scan for danger, but when you\u2019re wearing rose-colored glasses, sometimes the red flags just look like flags.\nSo on today\u2019s Ask Emily show, I take your questions on trust and safety, because as we know, safety is the precursor to hot sex. So what happens when you\u2019re having mind-blowing sex with a partner, but catch them chatting with sex workers online? What happens when you\u2019ve been love-bombed, by someone who isn\u2019t what they seem? Or maybe you\u2019ve had past relationship trauma, and don\u2019t trust new partners to take it slow with you? We get into all of it. Finally: do you trust yourself to facilitate a hookup? Do you trust that you can help a partner heal from sex-negative messaging? These are the questions I\u2019m exploring today, and trust ME: by the end, you\u2019ll walk away with some great tools for sticky situations.\xa0\n\xa0\nShow Notes:\nEpisode:\xa0First Date First Orgasm First Threesome\nFind out about EMDR therapy at\xa0EMDRIA.org\nBook:\xa0For Yourself By Lonnie Barbach\n\xa0\n Hosted on Acast.
