Sexual fantasy makes many of us anxious, because it often taps into darker aspects of ourselves we don’t always understand, let alone want to disclose. Hearing our partner’s fantasies can be just as unsettling, especially if we assume that they want us to go along with what they share.
But an intimate marriage requires the strength and courage of two people who can tolerate actually knowing each other, sexual selves included.
In this NEW episode, Dr. Finlayson-Fife joins Dr. Darcy Sterling of We Need to Talk to break down why fantasies can be so scary to share (or even hear). They discuss why it’s tempting to soften or backpedal what we reveal, what doing so costs us, and why it can be healthy to play with the darker aspects of self.
