By Rich Simon It seems astonishing that even just two or three decades ago, parents not only pretty much knew what was expected of them to turn their offspring into civilized adults, but they could actually count on society to back them up. Even more astounding, kids seemed to understand this, too. Even if they rebelled against, yelled about, or sullenly resented how “unfair” adults were, they seemed to acknowledge adult authority and realize that they would just have to wait until they turned 18 to get for themselves the keys to the kingdom of grown-up independence.

I have always known that my growth in life - both positive and negative- has been clearly represented by and expressed in my sexual experience, and my personal therapy has been enriched by my developing understanding of my sexuality and how my sexuality speaks volumes about how I have lived my life's failures and successes. Granted, I have a lot of Psych training and experience but it is abundantly clear to me that Perel's clients can learn just as much and more as I have learned through the deeper understanding of their sexual experience. And I had to learn it without the elegant support of an Esther Perel. You truly do "Get it" Esther and you are an inspiration. Thank you both for this important presentation.

On another note, I wish this series of webcasts had the slides that accompanied the presentation, since I learn better with both auditory and visual input. I would have liked to hear/see what Dr. Perel has written and how best to get further information.
Thank you for this valuable information.

Thank you for a very thought provoking interview. I am intrigued enough to purchase your books and look for a training to participate in that will provide more depth. I am a couples' therapist that has trained with Terry Real and I think this is a fabulous additional area to explore for working with couples. Thank you for your work!
always curious to know what specifically stood out and caught your attention. Check out my webinar with Terry Real from the PN symposium on infidelity.
