Rediscovering Authentic Intimacy with Sandy Rose: A Journey from Pain to Pleasure

In this episode, associate psychotherapist and sex and relationship therapist Sandy Rose shares her journey from a reserved childhood to becoming a founder of Sandy Rose Therapy.

She discusses her transformative experiences, including her divorce, and how they led her to explore her authentic self, sensuality, and sexuality. Sandy blends psychodynamic therapy, somatic awareness, and trauma-informed care to help individuals and couples reconnect with their true selves.

The conversation delves into topics such as the importance of communication in intimacy, breaking down societal stigma and shame, the impact of media on sexual perceptions, and the positive role of psychedelics in therapeutic settings.

Sandy's ultimate vision includes creating a retreat for couples using MDMA to foster deeper connections and healing.
