“I don’t feel like s*x anymore… but I go along with it.”

Things are good.
Intimacy isn’t.
It’s just… quietly not working.

The relationship works.
Life works.

And still—
she goes along with it.

Not because she’s being forced.
Because it feels… reasonable.

A invisible kind of pressure.
The kind that keeps things smooth.
Connected.
“Good.”

Not spoken.
Learned.

Over time, she stops noticing
that her body isn’t fully with her.

And a split begins.

Staying connected
starts to mean overriding herself.

This isn’t just personal.
It’s cultural.

Where being a good partner
Carried in expectations, includes staying available.
Avoiding the challenge honesty might bring.

So nothing looks wrong.
Until her body stops showing up at all.

And now it’s called low desire.

But underneath it
are all the moments
that were agreed to…
without ever being fully chosen
until now.

Familiar?
You might send this to your partner.
And open something you haven’t been able to say.
Or share with a friend who will resonate with this too.

Most couples think they’re arguing about the topic.

The dishes.
The tone.
The forgotten thing.

But you know the argument starts earlier.

In the moment when something tender appears…
and just as quickly, the rhythm shifts.

A tightening in the body.
A familiar reaction.
A shift from honesty to defense.

Not because you don’t care.

Because some part of you learned long ago that vulnerability wasn’t always safe.

And in that moment, the body chooses protection over openness.

This is why so many couples feel stuck.

You can understand the pattern.
You can talk about it.
You can promise to do better next time.

But these reactions aren’t mainly cognitive.

They’re patterned responses in the nervous system and body.

Which means real change doesn’t come from insight alone.

It comes from learning how to stay present inside the moment when vulnerability and the desire for protection appear together.

That’s where intimacy begins to change.

Save this if you recognize the moment.

Many couples feel confused by how quickly closeness can turn into irritation or conflict.

One moment there is attraction.

The next moment there is a snapping tone, distancing or sudden criticism.
From understanding infant development and nervous system patterning ( ) we recognise this as the awakening of early relational movement patterns.

The same rhythms that helped us develop as babies — connection, protest, separation — can reappear in adult love. That’s generally the reactivity that’s activated.

You may have read, listened, discussed, problem solved and yet notice that the re-patterning of these early life patterns isn’t done via the intellect.

When couples learn to recognise and work through these patterns safely, the energy that once fueled conflict can become the foundation for deeper intimacy.

If you’re curious to better understand yourself and your relationship’s pattern, Back To Love will help you. Link is in my bio.

“It now takes a country” to protect and keep our children safe.

Parenting so that our children are healthily individuated gives them a sense of healthy boundaries and their power to say no.

As I see it healthy well supported parents and carers are essential. Often there are changes in parenting as a team when couples work on their relationship with each other.

I hope you have the circles of support you need as a parent. So you can provide the circles of support your children and young people need.

Magnificent sssx isn’t built on performance.
It’s built on presence.

On the ability to bring your full self to the connection—without hiding, forcing, or fixing.
According to the Magnificent Sssx study by Dr. Peggy Kleinplatz, the most deeply fulfilling sssxual experiences weren’t about frequency, novelty, or even technique.

They were about something quieter.
More relational.
More human.

The people who described the most powerful intimacy had one thing in common:
They’d developed the kind of communication that could hold the whole relationship.

The kind that allows you to:
Connect deeply outside the bedroom—through emotions, conflict, meaning, and unmet needs
Bringing presence that’s stable, open, curious, and attuned
Repair well—so that rupture becomes a return, not a rejection
Speak truth without making the other wrong
Create safety that invites play, not just emotional management

It’s not about becoming more sssxual.
It’s about becoming more available.

More here.

If this speaks to something you’ve been craving but couldn’t name—
in Soul Speak: Connection Essentials for Intimacy.

Through self-paced modules, video based examples and step by step guidance. You’ll work with a current real topic in your life. So you uncover your natural ability to have deep real conversations.

The kind of communication that creates safety, presence, and even erotic possibility.

My DM’s are open if you have q’s.

You’re not too sensitive for feeling this much.
You’re awake in a system that’s taught you to confuse silence with safety and peace and control with care.

If your nervous system is in revolt, if you can’t believe what you’re seeing and don’t know where to put the feeling—this is not just political, it’s relational.

Violence out there echoes patterns of fear, power and safety internalised through ..

The parent who punished instead of protected.
The partner who insisted or withdrew instead of listening.
The culture that rewards power over presence.

And maybe you thought you were doing ok—until the protests started, or the sirens returned, or someone called you “too much” for even naming what hurts. If you’re numbing out in your bones, overwhelmed. I invite you to … first check on what you can address:

•⁠ ⁠Does your peace depends on the people around you going quiet, that’s not peace. That’s compliance.

•⁠ ⁠Do you use force? Protective force is not the same as punishing force. One defends what’s sacred. The other invades it. And your body knows the difference.

If you’re looking for support to find new ways to be actively engaging in ‘power with’ rather than ‘power over’ others; and protective force. You can start with Soul Speak which is my online course based on Nonviolent Communication, a powerful global model to support real peace, real connection and real change in systems at the self, family, intimate partner, parenting, and societal level.

She’s done intimacy.
She’s in the relationship.
She’s present, engaged, emotionally available (mostly)— and still,
there are places in her that have never been seen.
Parts of her beloved she isn't managing to meet.

Closeness is something she scours for information and insights about.
But these are crumbs for her soulful Self.
Tangled up in needing to be explained.
Not felt as they are — but translated into usefulness
or intimacy as a project not something that's lived daily.

In the intimacy she knows,
she isn’t yet known.
Not in the way that lets the body flow, play and rest.
Not in the way that teaches her nervous system:
this isn’t more performance, it’s presence.

And that’s the work now —
not more tools,
but a deeper kind of contact.

If this speaks to you, I'd love to know ❤️

Our Story

Connection is such an incredibly nourishing important experience for us. Love is like oxygen to humans.

When we lose or fear we will lose, connection in an intimate relationship, we can experience loss and fear, grief and sadness. Anger can also come to the surface as well as embarrassment or shame.

Most of us will act out these emotions because we have such a strong sense of needing to ‘get’ love from another person. So we have instinctive actions that arise to try to get love and connection back.

This is where things can get a little crazy. Messy and painful. Becauses what we do may infact seem to make matters worse! There is a way through this back to sanity and connection.
