S1E10a: CASEBOOK: What makes a good sex life?

Sex is not just about the “act itself” – there is often a whole “experience” or even “event” surrounding it…and it’s not necessarily that people don’t want to have sex…they just can’t always find the time for the leadup and aftermath!! Sex Therapist and TEDx speaker Madina Demirbas joins us for a frank conversation on what makes a good sex life!

Our CASEBOOK podcasts are previous recordings on a theme or topic – for this month we will be speaking with Sex Therapist and TEDx speaker Madina Demirbas.

We know that not everything can be trusted online – but are we so lacking in real life – that the scam becomes a “beautiful fantasy”? We speak with cyber-security expert Danny Eastman on what to do when you have been scammed…but also what changes may need to be made “IRL” for us to realise that the offline world has the potential to be far more fulfilling.

BETWEEN SESSIONS: Life life – don’t “perform” it

Do you post regularly on social media? Is your identity tied to what you achieve (and what you can talk about)? Are you getting a bit tired? Maybe it’s time to start living, experiencing, embodying life – not “performing” it for others? Share by all means, but hold the moment first!

Between sessions is a short reflective podcast from Dr Audrey Tang where she addresses a different topic that has been playing on her mind – with a practical challenge at the end to boot.

If you enjoy this style – try her podcast: Retrain Your Brain for Success – it’s a couple of years old now, but she still practices what she preaches there: https://draudreyt.buzzsprout.com

Mental Health Matters: Reflections on Social isolation

Last time we met “The Mental Health Jedi” and founder of Project Soul Stride, Chris Frederick, he was about to start an “offline challenge” – going “off grid” for two months…and he’s back to let us know how it went. It’s a raw and honest reflection on loneliness, mindset, and how the virtual world may simulate company…but cannot replace it.

His blog on the “experiment”: https://chris-frederick.medium.com/i-thought-smoking-was-my-hardest-habit-then-i-logged-off-839a5a8a5df4

BETWEEN SESSIONS: Is everyone on Ozempic except me?

Let’s address the elephant in the room – and no, Dr Audrey has decided she’s not talking about herself – but is everyone getting thinner!? Health aside, this reinforces a horrible psychological stereotype that one’s value is dependant on attractiveness/weight – and frankly, that’s b*ll*cks!

Mental Health Matters: Sexual Wellbeing for Men Across the Lifespan

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when we talk “sex issues for men”!? There is WAY more to discuss as Professor Sharron Hinchliff, founder of the Sexual Rights Charter for Older Adults makes clear – intimacy, identity and self-image are all related to “performance” (and even the word “performance” is problematic in this context too. Join us to burst those myths and reflect on what men are REALLY asking for!

BETWEEN SESSIONS: Changing our Success Narrative as we Age

Have you tried to “recapture lost youth” and ended up a little red in the face…Dr Audrey has – and finally she’s begun to realise that not only “what looked good at 20” may not look so good at 50…but actually, she’s got much more to offer now!!

Between sessions is a short reflective podcast from Dr Audrey Tang where she addresses a different topic that has been playing on her mind – with a practical challenge at the end to boot.

Mental Health Matters: Growing Incivility

Is this what we’re doing? Just getting ruder because someone else was rude to us…or even in anticipation of someone being rude to us? And what about people – and there are some – who use being rude as a way to connect? And then there’s the issue of loneliness…and the essential human need for contact (however big or small!)…this and so many questions are addressed by the fabulous Dr John O’Brien – TEDx speaker, and author of Rudeness Rehab.
