Show Notes
In this episode of the Bodies by Brent Podcast we dive into the world of intimacy therapy with Kat. She has worked around the country as an occupational therapist in hospitals and before transitioning into her role as an intimacy therapist. With her work in hospitals she noticed that before a major health accident, the patient would always explain how they’re stressed, unhappy, or lonely. Her work with intimacy can help heal these deep-rooted issues.
She shares with us proven ways to be more intimate with our partners and how we can accomplish this with simple questions like “What are you going through that I can’t see?”

At the end of our podcast, we come full circle and Kat takes us deep into past trauma and how it physically manifested itself, what it taught her about setting healthy boundaries and how she overcame the victim mentality of the situation.
What we learn from Kat during this episode: That curiosity is the key to a conscious relationship The importance of meeting your partner's emotional needs How the nervous system is the body's alarm system to keep you safe That true healing, physically, mentally, and spiritually revolves around internal work How lack of awareness can create generational trauma How a lack of satisfaction in your relationship can create resentment What you can do to self-regulate your nervous system How extended eye contact with your partner can benefit your relationship
