Helping or Enabling…A Fine Line When Dealing with OCD
Parenting for me has often involved following my instincts and using good common sense. Whether it was telling my fifteen year old daughter that she could not go to the co-ed sleepover, or encouraging my shy child to invite a friend over, I seemed to have a pretty good handle on things. But when OCD joined our family and I continued to follow my instincts, all bets were off.

Acts of Violence, Fear of The Unknown, Xenophobia
Last week's tragedy in Norway once again raises important questions about ethnic hatred and violence. Norway is known for being one of the most peaceful nations in the world. It's people are tolerant, gentle and generous. It is for these reasons that they happily accepted and embraced immigrants into their country. It seems that this is what led to the violent bombing and shootings that caused so many deaths and shook Norwegians and other Europeans to the core.

TSGS 024: Dr. Michael Bader - The Secret Logic of Sexual Fantasies
"While the desire for sexual pleasure is hard-wired into our bodies, we can only feel sexual arousal if it's psychologically safe to feel it." Explore with us the appeal and misconceptions of sexual fantasies, male pleasure through internet porn and cybersex, and what blocks our psychological arousal. According to Dr. Bader's research, sexual arousal is not automatic or purely physical just because erogenous zones are stimulated. By examining what turns you on, you can start to realize how important the psychological cues and messages are to physical arousal.& Peoples' beliefs can make it difficult to get aroused.& This comes from conditioning by society, family, friends, media, etc., about what's "okay" to turn us on. What helps us get past these difficult feelings? Our programmed beliefs can lead us to shame, guilt, worry, etc. These things are not compatible for maximum sexual arousal. Voila…the mind creates sexual fantasies to carry us past the thoughts blocking our potential sexual pleasure! This episode may lead you to deeper exploration. What are the specific details around your own sexual fantasies? Have you shared the details with anyone? Do you fantasize about men or women more? Do you fantasize about real people or the imagined perfect lover? What message and elegant solution do you believe may be addressed by the specific fantasies that your mind has created? "By exploring the meaning of the sexual fantasies you often get a great look into deeper things that are troubling you."

TSGS 007: Lee Bridgett Harrington: Passion, Exploration, and BDSM
Lee shares with us about her own curiosity and passion as a teenager, which led her into the BDSM clubs of Seattle, through the adult film industry, and eventually, as a teacher and educator, to support others in discovering their own unique flavor. She speaks in depth about the importance of avoiding simply following an existing path, and instead teaches that turn-on and passion come most intensely from the individual being connected deeply to their own personal passion and sharing with another from this place. Communication, according to Lee, is not simply words or requests. It is a hand brushing against your thigh, a look in your partners eyes when you realize, ‘we got it here’. ‘For me it is about helping people find the path that they are supposed to be on. How do you relate to the divine? What do you believe in? And from there, how do you tie that core belief of the universe at large back into the physicality or the emotional connection of your sexuality. For me, that is where the spiritual and the sexual interplay.’

Finding That Significant Other, Why So Difficult?
Many of the explanations given by men who frequent prostitutes are quite poignant in that they reveal deep seated feelings of self doubt, poor body image, low self esteem and feelings of loneliness, as well as sexual frustration. Many of these are men who are convinced that a woman cannot possibly love them. It should go without saying, that these problems plague women who have great difficulty finding and settling into permanent relationships. I suspect that, in many cases, these are people who were abused physically, sexually or emotionally during childhood. They report that they have dated women but things always ended in failure. What is the problem?
