Highlights of this Episode
André’s Background
- André Lazarus: intimacy coach, ex-military, moved from security/tech into embodied intimacy work.
- Based in Barcelona; has experience with therapeutic intimate practices and tantra-influenced approaches.
- Offers online courses and a free resource for embodied loving via his website.
Embodied Intimacy & Coaching Approach
- Embodied/somatic intimacy = focusing on bodily sensations over cognitive/goal-oriented sex.
- Coaching emphasizes presence, practicing communication, boundary/consent skills, and gradual somatic work.
- Reframes sex beyond penetration/orgasm; values slow, varied, non-goal-oriented sexual experiences.
Midlife Relationships & Alternatives
- Midlife often brings increased self-awareness, willingness to change, and reassessment of relationships.
- Alternatives (non-monogamy, relationship agreements) can be viable options when sexual needs differ.
- Communication, curiosity, and incremental exploration are recommended before major decisions.
Trauma-informed Care & Starting Steps
- Sexual trauma requires trauma-informed, qualified support; combine talk therapy with embodied modalities.
- Practical starter step: list what’s working vs. missing in intimacy, then pick a first actionable step (research, discovery call, workshop).
- Trust intuition when choosing practitioners; request discovery calls and check references/testimonials.
