Love, Lust, and Laughter

Love, Lust, Laughter - Dr. Nancy Dreyfus - 05/21/13

Dr. Nancy Dreyfus – www.NancyDreyfus.com – returned to the program. In March she and Dr. Diana focused on her groundbreaking book TALK TO ME LIKE I’M SOMEONE YOU LOVE. The bridge to this show is that it’s extra challenging to reach out and connect when sexual vulnerability is present. Sexual pain, often described as vulvodynia (www.nva.org), makes intercourse painful and leaves many women feeling stoic and ashamed. Dr. Nancy spoke of her own vaginal pain and the spiritual path that ensued. What do women want? Nancy Dreyfus who shared her experience from wound to wisdom stated: Women want to feel let in…by a man who is willing to be vulnerable. The woman needs to listen and respect if he says he needs to be temporarily in his “cave,” for example. This show is jam-packed with insights and excellent information – for women and the partners who love them!

Love, Lust, and Laughter - 03/05/13

Dr. Nancy Dreyfus brilliantly discussed her groundbreaking book in its 3^rd Edition: TALK TO ME LIKE I’M SOMEONE YOU LOVE. This last Edition was expanded to have a “Making Love” section with accompanying flash cards. The subtitle to her book is “Relationship Repair in a Flash” and these messages highlight the power of written messages to defuse tension – thereby going from “crazy” to “cozy.” One really helpful flash card is, “This feels awful. Can we start again and really listen to each other?”  No blame here, and the other is acknowledged. This is a gem of a show – and there’ll be a Part 2! Go to www.NancyDreyfus.com for more, really well-written information!
