Have you ever heard of endometriosis? Do you know anything about this chronic illness or have you just heard about it for the first time in your life? As March is the Endometriosis Awareness Month, I want to share my endo story with you. While this topic may seem to be far away from the love and relationships scope of this podcast, it really is not. Endometriosis often heavily affects romantic, sex, and family life of those that have been diagnosed, and I do not mean only women but their partners or husbands as well. Every 1 in 10 women of reproductive age in the UK—and these numbers are similar worldwide—is diagnosed with endometriosis. It is usually a long way to get this diagnosis confirmed, as on average it takes between 7 and 9 years. Endometriosis is a chronic condition in which endometrial-like tissue implants itself outside of the uterus, most commonly in diffeent parts of the reproductive system, but not only. Each case of endometriosis is different in terms of the symptoms that are present and their severity. However, the most typical symptoms of this illness include: • Painful and heavy periods; • Chronic pelvic pain, that lasts between periods; • Painful bowel movements, painful urination, and blood in urine; • Deep pain during sex; and • Chronic fatigue. If you want to learn more about endometriosis, and my story of being diagnosed and what this diagnosis changed in my life, this episode is for you!

<p><strong>Gaslightning</strong> is one of the most common manipulation techniques that is used mainly by narcissists, though not only, to gain power over and control their partners or spouses, and be in charge of the dynamics of the whole relationship. The term comes from a stage play “Gas light” by Patrick Hamilton and the movie that was subsequently made (in the US, known as "Angel Street"). In the movie, the devious husband manipulates and torments his wife to convince her that she’s going mad. </p> <p><strong>Gaslighting</strong> is a form of psychological abuse where a person or group, makes another individual question their memories, sanity, and their perception of reality. It does not occur only in romantic relationships or marriages, but can take place in any relationship, including friendships, parent-child relationships, or employer-employee relationships.</p> <p>Have you ever been in a relationship with someone that made you doubt in what you were experiencing on a daily basis? Have you been confused to that extent that at some point you started question yourself and your sanity, and thought that you were losing touch with reality? - If you have ever had that strange feeling that you were or are living in an alternate reality to what you have been registering with your own senses, than it is more than likely that you have experienced <strong>gaslightning</strong>.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Want to know more about gaslightning? Take a seat and and enjoy this episode!</p> <p><br></p>

<p>The interest in tantric sex is now on the rise in the Western World. Originating in the ancient Indian and Chinese practices and philosophy, tantric sex is slow and meditative, with its end goal not being orgasm but the enjoyment coming from the sexual act and the sensations that this sexual journey brings to the body. The movement of the sexual energy that takes place during the act brings healing, transformation, and enlightenment.</p> <p>Tantric sex, however, requires intimacy between the partners. Without intimacy, sex hardly ever goes beyond being a physical, often barely mechanical, act that brings instant gratification. So how to prepare yourself and your partner for the deeper experience of tantric sex? My guest Anne Bland, the founder of SelfishlyHappyWoman.com and international love, relationship, and sex coach, and I will try to answer this and other questions related to tantra and sex in the today's episode. </p>
