Sex & Body Image (Part 1) With Sex Therapist Dr. Nicole Van Ness, LMFT

In episode 48 of Dr. Marianne-Land: An Eating Disorder Recovery Podcast, I speak with Dr. Nicole Van Ness, who is a licensed marriage and family therapist, as well as a sex therapist. We examine all things sex and body image, including how growing up in particular religious backgrounds can affect the way you view pleasure. We also talk about how shame and sexuality can intertwine. Plus, Dr. Nicole shares about her research on eroticism. This episode is part one of a two-part series.
