Hey, everyone! Welcome back for another episode of the Owning Your Sexual Self podcast. Thanks for sticking around through the ups and downs; life's been a rollercoaster as I open my own sex therapy and education practice here in Michigan. Today, we've got a special guest, Kate Shelor, a hypnotherapist, subconscious reprogramming expert, and a relationship coach, sharing insights on how the subconscious affects our sexual experiences and so much more!

You'll hear:

• Kate's personal journey with hypnotherapy
• How hypnotherapy works as a tool for accessing deep emotions, not as mind control
• The importance of therapy for subconscious associations and recognizing that you're not "broken" but in need of healing
• Why it's important to tackle the emotional and physical sides of issues like sexual problems
• Practical tips for shifting your mindset from negative to positive, so you can use your subconscious to improve your life
