In her work as a clinical therapist, Jasmonae Joyriel helps both individuals and couples process the shame and anxiety they carry when it comes to sex and eroticism. Jasmonae joins Claire to discuss how people can unpack their shame around sex and how partners can build trust and communication. Jasmonae also shares advice on how parents can talk to children about their bodies and consent.

When we recorded this interview, Dr. Joyriel went by a different name, so you'll hear Claire use that name in the audio.
