Healthy Sexuality Basics: Physical Touch

Written by: Jonathan ZalesneWhen working with couples, my experience is that discussing sex falls into two categories. It is either great and easy to talk about—or it is a primary concern that cannot be broached.

We often lack understanding about our sexuality and the taboo nature of this topic results in silence rather than active questioning. Discussing sexual intimacy is hard, and I want [...]

So…are we just friends?

Written By: Jonathan Zalesne The couples I work with who come in struggling with infidelity often tell me a similar story.

And, at the same time, we want to be our partner’s primary point of contact, the person they share their life with. So, a fundamental question arises: how do we know if someone is ‘just a friend?’ There are several ways in which we [...]

Rebuilding Your Home: Infidelity in Committed Relationships

Written by: Jonathan ZalesnePeople seem to love home makeover shows. Entire networks are dedicated to rebuilding, re-styling, and re-designing homes from the ground up.

Communicating with Your Loved Ones: Sometimes It’s Complicated

Written by: Jonathan Zalesne I was having a conversation with someone the other day about the challenges of communicating with loved ones. She was saying that recently it’s become clear to her that there is a wide gap between how she is able to talk with colleagues or casual acquaintances as opposed to her closest people. I know she’s not the only one to feel this way because I identified with the struggle as well. So why is it sometimes the hardest with the people we love? After thinking on this for a while the simplest answer seemed to be the [...]

Written by Jonathan Zalesne What factors impact a relationship? On the “plus” side of the ledger, you might list trust, love, lust, compatibility, and more.

Well, it’s a bit of a trick question. Ambition can mean anything without context. How ambition impacts your relationship might depend on how it’s expressed. Also, the strength of your foundation plays a major role. To make matters more confusing, we may each have [...]
