Let’s talk about sex, because it turns out the most important part of cultivating a healthy sex life is talking about a healthy sex life. Only 9% of couples who can’t comfortably talk about sex with one another say that they’re satisfied sexually. When partners talk to each other about their sexual needs, their conversations are often indirect, vague, and left unresolved. Typically both partners are in a rush to finish the discussion, hoping their partner will understand their desires without saying much. The less direct you are about what you want, the less likely you are to get it. Talking about sex is a powerful way to deepen intimacy and connection. Saying things like, “Last night when you touched my ____ and gave it all of your attention, I felt very sexy. I loved it.” or “Making love in the morning is the best part of waking up!” When communication is full of tension, then frustration, ambiguity, and hurt feelings are sure to follow. This is why friendship outside the bedroom is so crucial to a passionate sex life. It’s common for couples to want to talk about sex, yet they struggle to find the right words to express themselves without sounding critical or feeling embarrassed.

Schizophrenia affects approximately 24 million people or 1 in 300 people globally. Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder marked by delusions, hallucinations, and disorganised thinking. It's often misunderstood as a split personality disorder, which it isn’t. Misconceptions and stigma can hinder proper understanding and treatment. #ustherapy #schizoprenia #misconceptions #psychosis #delusions

Psychosis is a mental health condition characterised by a loss of touch with reality, including symptoms like hallucinations and delusions. It can occur as part of various disorders, including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or as a result of substance use. Misunderstandings often arise from viewing it as merely "crazy behaviour," instead of recognising it as a serious and treatable condition. #ustherapy #psychosis #hallucinations #delusions
