Love & Relationships in Lockdown with Dr. Chris Donaghue – Ep 125 American Sex Podcast

Many of us are sheltered in place with partners, family members, or roommates. Some are thrilled about the quality time spent with loved ones, others not so much. We’re bickering, tense, and in some situations, the isolation is a breeding ground for abuse. On Ep. 125 of American Sex Podcast Dr. Chris Donaghue gives us coping and communication strategies we can use with people we’re quarantined with. Learn how this pandemic affects libido and how to deal with desire discrepancy, get tips for setting boundaries with difficult housemates, find out how to use sensory experiences to find solitude, plus learn to identify hidden signs of depression/anxiety and which mental health strategies can help. Dr. Chris also gives us the reassurance we need to address our guilt about not being productive in quarantine and reveals why it’s important to focus on self-care, relaxation, and restoration.
