Sexellence Podcast

Shasta Townsend and Ian Lavalley

Sexellence celebrates sexuality as a diverse, complex and multifaceted component of being a human being, without judgment. Hosts, Ian Lavalley and Shasta Townsend share the how-to, the mindsets, the science, the tools and the “secrets” to great sex and a good life. They go beyond the usual “technique” focus of lube, vibrators and positions, and give you real information you can use to create a deeper level of intimacy, connection, passion and joy in the bedroom and outside of it! As married income and intimacy success mentors, they share real stories from their own lives and client case studies to keep this relevant and relatable for those of us who are not porn stars, but rather seeking our own ecstatic experience or just want to get the fire back! read less

Why Couples Therapy is Not Working & What to Do
With a divorce rate of over 50%, and nearly all couples “in trouble” seeking some sort of therapy, there is a pretty clear indication that things aren’t working! Shasta and Ian share their transparent story of what therapy did to their marriage and sex life, and what they did to repair their relationship, and the damage caused in therapy. If you’ve tried therapy and felt worse off there is a reason… If you are a therapist and you feel like you are either not really helping people or even might feel like a fraud yourself because of your own relationship issues, we understand. This episode is for you. You will hear: What is the #1 Flaw inherent in the therapy model. What neuroscience and the latest in neurophysiological (brain/body connection) tells us is actually working, and how to hack into that yourself. Why therapy may increase contempt rather than compassion in your relationship, and what a Seinfeld character knew about this…#festivus Why by doing this ONE thing you are making your brain, body and relationship worse off, and yet many people fall under the false belief that it’s what they should do. The #1 thing to do instead of therapy, that WILL save your marriage, your mind and your money!!! Listen Now Want to share your thoughts?
