Success - you're on the list!
Welcome to the Insight & Connection community :)
I’ve just emailed you - please move my email to your primary inbox and/or add catherine@insightconnection.uk to your address book to make sure you don’t miss anything.
I know you’ve joined this list because you want a strong relationship with your partner, and I’m excited to start supporting you with that.
Feeling disconnected from the person you’ve decided to make a life and raise children with can feel really stressful.
In my work as a BACP accredited counsellor specialising in relationships after kids, I support couples to:
- communicate better
- resolve resentments
- enjoy more intimacy
...and more
By intimacy I mean both physical and emotional closeness, because they’re two sides of the same coin, and more of one leads to more of the other.
The truth about sex after kids is that it rarely just happens.
With all the pressures of life as parents, we have to find a way to prioritise intimacy if we want to have a lasting, satisfying sexual connection.
When I started talking about sex after kids on Instagram, the Insight & Connection community was so keen to discuss it that this topic I had planned to cover for a few weeks ended up going on for months.
I recognised a real need, both for information about how to overcome the challenges and create the sex life you want, and for space to process the changes you’ve been through since becoming parents.
That’s why I wrote Back In The Sack, the sex after kids workbook.
Back In The Sack is packed full of information about:
- The typical pattern that couples fall into that gets in the way of them enjoying physical and emotional intimacy, and how you can break it
- The challenge of going from coparents by day to lovers by night, and how you can overcome it
- How a mindful approach to sex can get you out of your head and back to feeling pleasure through sex
- The deeper meaning of the cycle of rejection, and how you can break it
- The importance of considering what “Mum” or “Dad” means to you for reclaiming your sex life
- How to start a conversation about sex (with lots of examples!)
- How sex actually happens in long-term relationships
It also includes over 30 journal prompts to help you to work through:
- The importance of sex for you and your relationship
- Your blocks to fully and freely enjoying sex with your partner
- How you can make the switch from being a sensible, dependable parent to a free, passionate lover
- How your body, how you feel about it, and your bodily sensations might have changed, and what to do about it
- How you can better understand your partner and feel more connected
- Asking for what you want and need in order to get in the mood have great sex
See my website for loads of feedback from parents just like you who have made huge changes to their sex lives lives after reading this workbook (some alone, some separately and some together - whatever works for you is the best place to start).
