The Unhealthy Relationship

Growing up: Wounds and Traumas Draw Unhealthy Relationships Relationships are like physical magnets. That is why you find that most people who enter into a relationship are alike. This also applies to children who have been abused during their childhood. They somehow attract other adults who have had similar experience. However, very few of these relationships tend to be stable. People who have had a traumatic childhood need more mature partners. They don't need partners who are emotionally and mentally scarred. Unfortunately, as the Law of Attraction states, they continue to attract partners who are like them. Kinds of child abuse However, before examining relationships between adults who have had a traumatic childhood it is important to understand the different kinds of child abuse. P...

How Can I Get My Lesbian Girlfriend Back?

A hard fact of life is that relationships can break down. Most lesbians go through such an experience at least once, and sadly you've found yourself in this painful situation. Even though you've been dumped, you still care about your ex. Things may look bad, but there is still hope for your relationship if you take the right steps. Here are three critical things you must do if you want to get your ex-girlfriend back. 1. Keep your mouth shut.

Having A Successful Long-Distance Relationship — According To A Sex Therapist’s

Sex Education: a sex therapist’s advice on having a successful long-distance relationship. In the new season of Sex Education, Otis and Maeve, our favourite “will-they-won’t-they” couple (let’s be honest, Ross and Rachel aren’t quite as fun), are taking a chance on love again. However, as ever, things aren’t so easy. This time they have to work out how to be together while apart, as Maeve embarks on a writing course in the US. Yep, they are in an LDR (long-distance relationship). Typically, LDRs are deemed less successful compared to couples in closer proximity. But being in close proximity doesn’t always go hand-in-hand with relationship satisfaction. I’ve seen this myself as a sex and relationship therapist, where I frequently encounter clients who, despite living side-by-side, still ...

Pup Play: Kink communities can help people build connections and improve their body image. In recent years, the world of kink lifestyles and subcultures has gained increasing attention. Kink is a general term that includes various expressions of unconventional or non-traditional sexual desires. This encompasses a wide array of practices, including power dynamics, intense sensations/stimuli, role-playing and more. One such form of role-play that is often misunderstood is known as pup play. Pups are consenting adults who roleplay by dressing and acting as young canines, or pups. We are researchers within nutrition and health research with a focus on diverse gender and sexualities. In this project called Puppy Philms, we seek to more deeply understand how meanings ascribed to bodies are soci...

Why Do Autistic People Experience Loneliness More Acutely Than Neurotypical People?

Autistic people experience loneliness far more acutely than neurotypical people – new research. Autistic people are up to four times more likely to experience loneliness than non-autistic people. Despite enduring stereotypes that autistic people lack the desire for meaningful social connections, new research from my colleagues and I unveils the profound distress they experience due to loneliness. It also shows the unexpected role that differences in the ways individuals receive and interpret different stimuli through their senses – their “sensory processing” – may play in this phenomenon. We combined two complementary studies that investigated autistic and non-autistic people’s experiences of loneliness, using different methods. In the first study, autistic and non-autistic participants co...
