“Dr.Moali,
My husband and I have been suffering from a desire difference for most of our relationship and the resulting pain started creating crushing anxiety for both of us. For him it was the fear of having to say no again and make me feel rejected and for me it was the immense pain of not being desirable to him. It only got worse with stress and depression as well.
I have done research on my own, things that made me feel ok with my partner having a low sex drive but it wasn’t getting better. We finally hit a point where we thought it might be over for us but I said I wouldn’t give up on him, there are solutions out there and I will find them.
That’s when I looked up sex therapy on podcasts and found you, starting with your low libido podcast and moving to many others, it completely changed my out look on my relationship and sex. I no longer felt hurt and was not taking his low sex drive personally, because in this case it wasn’t personal, it was stress and exhaustion. I apologized for how sad I have been and told him that it’s time for us to start fresh, reducing the anxiety in our bedroom with Sensate Focus. I just introduced 5 minutes each of this exercise with no expectations, to say the least, just one session has completely breathed life into our relationship and given us hope.
Thank you so much for this work that you do.”
