Description
Dr. Eric FitzMedrud is a culturally aware clinician, trainer, speaker, podcast guest, author and a licensed psychologist. He specializes in evidence-based practices that include sex-positive wisdom and celebrating the joys of pleasure. Eric’s new book is The Better Man, A Guide to Consent, Stronger relationships and Better Sex.
What You Will Hear:
- Consent conversations and pleasure
- Intersection of varied bodies and culture
- Vulnerability
- Meta communication
- Becoming a better asshole
- Sexual shame and core wounds
- Developing empathy
Quotes:
“The reality of vulnerability is also when we are vulnerable with each other, sometimes we hurt each other unintentionally. “
“Empathy is a two-way street, but sometimes it needs to only flow in one direction at a time.”
“if there's not something that you love, then you're dangerous because if you don't love something, then you don't have any basis for empathy. Your pain comes because you are alive. Your pain comes because you love something. And if you can't pay attention to and integrate that pain, you can't mobilize your love.”
