From the Abandonment Wound to Connection (Part 2) (with Steve LeBlanc)

- Experiencing secure attachment and freedom in a consensually non-monogamous relationship
- Developing a safe container to be present (and just be) in the relationship
- Healing sexual trauma and unlearning patterns in relationship
- How Steve’s earlier sexual experiences led to repressing his needs and being performative in later relationships
- The differences Steve has experienced between having sex with men versus women
- A spontaneous, real-time moment of processing between Steve and Janice about Steve’s internalized belief that women don’t want him sexually
- A mutually healing sexual experience between Janice and Steve
- The need for both clear communication and an understanding of the nuanced power dynamics in heterosexual relationships
- Steve’s understanding of his privileges and some ways he’s developed empathy
