Is the spark gone? Dr. Scott Lyons, as I explore how to get the spark back in relationships and
sex. We're talking about why the spark is not what you think and what you're actually looking for.
In this episode, Dr. Scott Lyons and I discuss:
● Why the initial 'spark' might be misleading.
● The importance of evolving and growing in relationships.
● How trauma responses affect attraction and intimacy.
● The difference between intensity and intimacy.
● Practical ways to cultivate a sustainable and fulfilling connection.
I share personal experiences and insights on dating, attraction, and the journey toward deeper
self-understanding. Dr. Scott Lyons brings his expertise as a trauma therapist and somatic
healer to help us understand the complexities of relationships and sexuality.
