Description
Description:
This bold take on intimacy and sex grapples with the obstacles and anxieties that arise when our need for secure love conflicts with our pursuit of passion. We will tackle eroticism as a quality of vitality in relationships extending far beyond mere sexuality and show how reconciling these two competing needs is at the heart of sustaining desire over time. We will address paradoxes of desire and how social forces inhibit erotic expression; attachment history and the erotic blueprint.
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.
