My amazing husband has written these books that make me laugh and cry every time I read them. You can read the first in the series online for free (see below) and pre-order a paperback copy for a middle grade kid in your life.

I always ♥️ teaching weekends but this one especially as I have been joined by therapists and therapy students from all over the country who are committed to providing high quality, affirmative care to their trans and queer clients. Good helping professionals exist everywhere, even in hard times. 🩷🤍🩵

Do you know @deepaiyer.bsky.social ‘s work The Social Change Ecosystem Map? I’m not always the loudest on social media but this has been helping me understand that there are many roles in social change and to find the ones I fit into best. Also, @deepaiyer.bsky.social has a children’s book ⬇️

Is your need for control keeping you from pleasure? Do you struggle to let go enough to enjoy sex? Worry about sounds, faces, what you might look like if you stopped paying attention to yourself long enough to enjoy sensation? I get it. It’s difficult for many of us. I have a class for that. ⬇️

For folks who were raised with shameful or scary messages around se❎ and pleasure, these feelings can linger even when you’ve decided you don’t believe these messages anymore.

One way to help yourself relax and enjoy is ⬇️

When you were raised with messages that se❎ is bad, dirty, dangerous, and shameful it makes it really hard to jump right into a relaxed, carefree, exploratory, pleasurable se❎uaI relationship.

Need to make peace with pleasure? I can help with that. ⬇️

“It’s so hard for me to relax & accept pleasure even though I want to. I just have a million thoughts going through my head the whole time. I want to be able to stop thinking about the email I forgot to send & just enjoy!”

Is this you? If so, I can help.

Stress, tension, and grief can really get in the way of allowing pleasure in. And wow, we have had plenty of stress, tension, and grief lately.

Take a deep breath. Put your hand on your body where you feel tension and just hold it there, gently. See if you can soften for a moment.
