The #CouplesClinician runs The Institute for Sexuality and Intimacy, LLC and is an Amazon best-selling author twice over! She is passionate about helping others build, maintain, and perpetuate true relationship intimacy with #shamefreesexed. We discuss vulnerability in relationships, the difference between truth and honesty, common challenges people face when it comes to building and maintaining true relationship intimacy, and shame-free sex ed. We also talk about how to address mental health concerns such as depression and anxiety within the context of sexual and intimate relationships.</p> <p dir="ltr">“Pleasure isn’t necessarily a morally good or bad word. And it’s not inherently sexy and about intercourse..it really is a word to say that we’re not put on this earth to suffer.” - Dr. Lexx Brown-James</p> <p dir="ltr">Links:</p> <p dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.sasssays.com">Christie’s Website</a></p> <p dir="ltr">Christie’s Instagram: @sasssays</p> <p dir="ltr"><a href="https://sasssays.com/panel/">Sign up to join us for a LIVE ZOOM PANEL on 6/28</a></p> <p dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.lexxsexdoc.com/">Dr. Lexx’s Website</a></p> <p dir="ltr">Dr. Lexx’s Instagram: @lexxsexdoc</p> <p dir="ltr"><a href= "https://www.sheknows.com/authors/dr-lexx-brown-james/articles/">Dr. Lexx’s Column on SheKnows.com</a></p> <p dir="ltr"><a href= "https://therapyforblackgirls.com/2020/07/15/session-164-do-relationships-have-to-be-hard-work/"> Dr. Lexx on Dr. Joy’s Podcast Therapy for Black Girls</a></p> <p dir="ltr"><a href= "https://sasssays.com/podcast/114-dr-juliana-hauser-the-key-skills-to-unlocking-your-sexual-agency-holistic-sexuality-and-self-discovery/"> Ep 114 Dr. Juliana Hauser</a></p> <p dir="ltr"><a href= "https://sasssays.com/podcast/139-sarah-wallace-the-enneagram-advantage-unlocking-your-core-strategy-for-life-and-productivity/"> Ep 139 Sarah Wallace</a></p> <p dir="ltr">Marriage, Intimacy, and Mental Health Series:</p> <p dir=
