As a kid, I grew up wanting to talk about things that other people didn't: sex, connection, feelings, arguments... Now as a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist, I’m often talking about them, which led me to begin envisioning creating a sacred space. One where there’s education, open dialogue and exercises that explore and inspire healthy sexuality and involved coupling. I'm so happy to say that space is now here, and happening this Sunday with the Advanced Care Group. If this speaks to where you're at in your journey, either single or with a partner, please join us!

What’s your 2019 mantra? Reflecting on my own roadmap for the year ahead inspired me to write about HOW to create the life you want, and the practical steps behind getting where you want to go. You can read more here:

The lost, lonely person that was sinking LOW. Not drowning anymore... floating on my back and enjoying the sun in my face." Anonymous "The Daring Workshop was one of the most precious gifts I have given myself, a gift of time, honesty, clarity, vulnerability and love. I learned so very many things about myself, what is working, what isn’t working, the importance of being true and vulnerable and of owning and cherishing my story. I made new friends who honour and respect the real me (not my image). At times I was nervous and scared and came away feeling brave. At times I was vulnerable and came away feeling accepted and respected. And at all times I felt safe. I learned new strategies for living a life of owning my story, being brave and being vulnerable. My life will never be the same for having taken this workshopit will forever be so much better more honest, real, open, vulnerable and loving."

Tune in to Passion With Dr. Laurie tonight at 10pm! As many of you know, I share the air with sex and relationship expert Dr. Laurie Betito as a recurring guest specialist on sex addiction. Tonight is a little different as Laurie is in China, so Paris will be subbing in. We’re guaranteed to have some juicy talk about sex, both the lighter side of sex and the darker side of sex. You can listen on iHeartRadio, or CJAD 800 Montreal.

As a certified sex addiction therapist, I’m often looking into the darker sides of sexuality. My greatest goal is to support clients in coming out of that darkness and into the light. It’s not enough to simply have a sex life that is healthy. The goal with this workshop is to guide those impacted by sex addiction and betrayal trauma to heal and create a sex life filled with passion, excitement, exploration, and deep meaningful connection. I’ve spent the last year getting ready with my colleague, Justin Inoue, to launch this upcoming program. We can’t wait to share it with all of you! Spaces are filling up fast, so please reserve your spot today.

I'm still in awe and overjoyed that Jodi Larry and my 2nd Daring Way group together sold out. Without further adieu, we're launching the 3rd so you can start your New Year off with a bang! Join us Jan. 24-26. This group will sell out, so we encourage you to register early to take advantage of early registration pricing, available until Dec. 20. Here’s what one gorgeous participant had to say about her experience:...

Gaslighting is a way of manipulating a person to believe that what they believe in their gut, what they see in front of their eyes, what they’ve experienced, is not real. It’s one of the most harmful strategies of betrayal. Please read this important article and if you identify with this, I am here to support you!

Jodi Larry and I are so excited to announce that our second Daring Way together has sold out! We both live and breathe this program, and trust that it will create powerful shifts in everyone who participates. Here’s what one Daring Way participant shared about their experience: "I walked in with five strangers and left feeling so connected to each of them and their powerful stories. Through watching videos of Brené explaining different concepts, exercises, delving deeper in...to these concepts and group discussions, dancing, drawing, sharing, laughing, crying and creating, I walked away with these takeaways: - The only way to truly connect is to take off our emotional armour and be vulnerable - We all feel shame and most of us numb it through our vices - The things we feel shame about are rarely judged negatively by anyone other than ourselves - The only way to get rid of this shame is to give it a voice - We are all imperfectly perfect, and perfection is an unattainable goal to strive for...." .... and much more! I was so touched by her insights @selflovejourney41. It is so meaningful for us to facilitate this together, as we align with our primary mission of supporting others in recognizing their worth.
