    Just out on my Love, Pleasure & Joy podcast, I spe Just out on my Love, Pleasure & Joy podcast, I speak with the incredible Esther Freud @estherfreud_ about her book on three generations of women and their experience of love. 'I Couldn’t Love You More' is the story of three generations of Irish women and their intertwining lives. The book speaks to relationship, love and expectation, as well as managing desperation, fear and hopelessness. This was a really moving conversation. I hope you enjoy! 🎙 — link in bio Love Cate xxx Photo: Jillian Edelstein #lovepleasurejoy #podcast #lovecoach #loveschool #estherfreud
    Here’s a clip from when I was on the @channel4 d Here’s a clip from when I was on the @channel4 documentary Kinky Britain. I spoke to Michelle about possible trainings and career paths as a sex coach or Psychosexual Therapist. As a qualified Psychosexual Therapist, I’m trained to work with people who are struggling with an aspect of their sexual selves. Together, we explore the issue and create a plan to support them to feel more confident and more empowered sexually and relationally. Psychosexual Therapy is a counselling modality to look at sexual themes in order to heal or clear any emotional or psychological issues. This is about supporting people to have more choice around their sex life and relationships. It’s really wonderful and rewarding work!

    ✨DATING TIPS✨ Dating might seem daunting but ✨DATING TIPS✨ Dating might seem daunting but it can be a lot of fun, I promise! Here are some tips to help you on your way… I suggest keeping dates to an hour and a half and date a few people initially so that it doesn’t take over your whole life. It’s usually not a good idea to have really long dates at first as this can mean you or the other start to over-bond and this can lead to one of you liking the other more. It can be helpful to take things gently and slowly while still prioritising your life. ✨Rule number 1✨ The only judgement you need to make for early dating is do you enjoy the person when you are with them? As much as you can, keep it light hearted and try not to share your deepest secrets for a couple of dates. Try to keep messages to arrangements and niceties like “thank you, I really enjoyed being with you and would love to see you again”. ✨Rule number 2✨ Have a date, get a date! Even if you are not in-love yet, if you like them a bit then hint on date one that you would like to see them again (you can always change your mind ) and share the kinds of things you would like to do. After the date, make sure you let them know that you enjoyed it and would like to see them again. Many people assume the other person knows — they often do not and need this confirmed to dare to ask you out again. Keep a few dates with different people on the go. This helps you not attach too quickly to someone ‘being the one’. ✨Rule number 3✨ Get yourself in dating mode and in a flirty mood. Dress for fun, get relaxed and if you are coming from work then try to do something to change your energy like a dance, meditation or speaking to a friend. Sometimes people turn up to dates in their work mode and fire questions as if they are interviewing someone — this does not create a warm, safe atmosphere and is not the best way to make a connection!

    Are you an octopus, a turtle or a dolphin? Aka anx Are you an octopus, a turtle or a dolphin? Aka anxiously attached, avoidantly attached or securely attached? Learning about your attachment style can be an absolute game-changer in understanding how you relate to others. Once we get a sense of the messages we are giving out, we can understand how we are triggering others. This also can help us to begin to give out different messages and create a warmer and sweeter relational space. Our attachment styles are directly related to our nervous systems and whether we are reacting to life or able to take a moment to be more responsive. 🐙 The Octopus Being anxiously attached can lead to having too many things in the diary and getting stuck in the future. If you have a turtle as a partner and the octopus demands connection, the turtle may withdraw or defend. The octopus needs to relax and play more. They need to learn how to get in touch with their desires and to make requests rather than demands. Learn to slow down, relax and pace life. Aim for more flow and less reactivity. 🐢 The Turtle Turtles, or avoidantly attached people, tend to be slow, distracted, introverted and ponderous over decision-making. They may be stuck in the past, reflecting over things they should’ve would’ve done. They may not communicate everything going on as opening up may feel risky. They may not want to hurt the octopus or themselves. If you are a turtle, it could be lovely to create safe times to connect, like a trip to the cinema, a drive, or a break away. 🐬 The Dolphin Dolphins are securely attached. They are able to express their needs and wants. They know how to be joyful and creative, to flirt and to play. They live in the present. They are able to ‘read the room’ and connect with those who are available but can be friendly to all without taking offence as to how they respond. Do you identify with any of these?
