Do you long for a sense of effortlessness, harmony, and synchronicity when you make love to your partner? Do you want to experience a sense of unity and surrender to the moment? Then you need to listen to today’s episode. The feelings I just described can only happen when you and your partner are highly attuned. Being attuned means that your bodies sync up with each other. Your breathing and heart rates move in unison, which – the latest research shows – massively amplifies sexual pleasure and satisfaction. I am fortunate to be joined by sexual attunement expert, Dr. Bridget Freihart.

Bridget is a Ph.D. candidate in clinical psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. She is currently completing her training as a Clinical Fellow at Harvard Medical School. Her research, which focuses on the role of relationships in sexual and reproductive health, has been featured in a range of leading medical journals. In addition to her work as a scientist, Bridget specializes in the delivery of cutting-edge interventions designed to optimize emotional and sexual health.
