Summary:
"
Women
are amazing. We climb to the highest levels in the business world, juggle our time between friends and family, and volunteer a helping hand when asked -- all without seeming to break a sweat. But frequently what hides beneath that ultra-competent exterior is someone screaming out for change.
Sex
counselor and nurse-midwife Evelyn Resh focuses on helping you create the
life
and
sex
life
you always hoped for by looking at your relationship to
pleasure
in general. She explores the importance of all types of pleasures -- from a simple coffee break to great
sex
-- and shows that without having these experiences on a regular basis,
life
feels empty and overall health suffers. In her quest to explain why so many women’s lives are barren of such
pleasure
, Resh lays out six attributes -- self-esteem, physical health, spiritual satisfaction, creativity, resilience, and compassion -- that are essential to accessing and prioritizing
pleasure
. When these six attributes are strong and balanced,
women
feel powerful and deserving of
pleasure
in all its forms. However, when even one is weak, they turn away from
pleasure
-- especially
sex
. With chapters structured around some of the most common reasons she's heard for avoiding
sex
in her practice -- I Feel Nothing, Menopause Is Killing Me, I’m Too Busy!, I’m Too Fat to Have
Sex
-- she sheds light on the imbalances that result in lives devoid of sexual desire and activity. With practical guidance, self-assessment questions, and stories from her practice and personal
life
, Resh explains how you can regain your emotional wellness and live a powerful
life
that includes a steady relationship with
pleasure
and sexual satisfaction. Evelyn Resh, MPH, CNM, is a certified sexuality counselor with The American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists"--Provided by publisher.
