When The Hot And Heavy Turns To Just Heavy w/ Dr. Corey Allen EP 66

TOP SELF | Tips on Jealousy in Relationships, Anxiety, and Insecurity

As most of us Jealousy Junkies are clinging on to our partners. Marriage and Sex Therapist Dr. Corey Allen says... a couple's problems could be a result of them being too close. Not leaving room for individuality. I thought this was a really important message I wanted you to hear because it isn't smothering in the way we make it out to be... it means there is too tight of a grip for growth and change and THAT is what lands you on Corey's couch and gives him and his wife material for their amazing podcast Sexy Marriage Radio.
In this episode of Top Self, Corey talks about the natural progression of a relationship from passionate beginnings to confronting everyday realities. Which by the way this usually about the time we freak out because the hot and heavy is slowing down and of course we make it us. But Dr. Allen says we have to understand the role of assurance in the relationship and he breaks it down in a way I hadn't thought about before through self-validation. I know that's going to be a huge aha moment for you when you hear it.
And the conversation gets a little spicy when I ask him some questions about sex like which gender is usually the microwave and which is most likely to be the oven when it comes to sex drives and he shares what he and his wife say to each other if the other turns them down that might just change their mind so there's a little heat at then end, so you may have to sit in the parking lot at work to make sure you hear the whole episode.
