What is this book about?
Sex therapist Kate Balestrieri reveals the twenty most common problems that extinguish desire—and how to reclaim a thriving sex life.
At some point in nearly every person’s life, they experience a loss of desire. Sometimes there’s a catalyzing event—stress at work, a fight with your partner, or sexual harassment—often, the problem is internal as a person loses touch with themself and what they want. Dr. Kate Balestrieri, licensed sex therapist, founder of Modern Intimacy, and host of Get Naked with Dr. Kate, is here to help.
In this book, Dr. Kate identifies the twenty most common reasons people show up in her therapy room, asking What Happened to My Sex Life? With understanding and compassion, she reassures listeners that no, they’re not broken—and they will feel again. With chapters that range from internal loss of desire (Why don’t I feel anything?) to relationship issues (Am I Partner or a Parent?), here is practical advice and insightful resolutions to help listeners get their desire—and sex life—back.
