The Boredwalk Podcast, Ep. 119: Talkin' sex & relationships with psychotherapist Todd Baratz!

This week on the podcast we're chatting with licensed psychotherapist, podcast host, and writer Todd S. Baratz about all manner of things sexual and relational! We discuss:

• The pitfalls of toxic positivity

• The genesis and problematic nature of therapists who pathologize everything (don't worry; Todd doesn't do that)

• Things our society can do to shift toward a kinder, more empathetic way of being

• The pros and cons of using the word "healing" in a therapeutic context

• The challenges of maintaining healthy interpersonal and romantic relationships during a global pandemic

• Becoming comfortable with one's sexual preferences

Please excuse the thumping throughout, as Todd's pup was very excited and was overcome with a case of "happy tail" outside the room Todd was recording in!
