063 - Sarah Kelleher - When Sexuality and Mental Health Collide

Sarah Kelleher is the mastermind and voice behind the Psych and The City Podcast. She’s in the field of social work and on the journey to become a sex therapist. When Sarah’s IG crossed my path and I realized she had a podcast to go along with it, I knew I needed to have her on here. 

We discuss the ever hidden topics of mental health and sexuality in today’s world, using human connection as a tool for growth and intimacy, what happens when we follow our interests despite our lack of self-trust at a younger age and how we all carry guilt and shame.

The depth of what we talk about in this episode truly holds a soft space in my heart, because all human beings are worthy of love and connection regardless of what potentially holds us back from fully embracing it.

Quotes:

“Connection, whatever that looks like, is a tool. How do we set ourselves up to feel a little bit better, a little bit safer, a little bit more okay in a space that is not okay?”

“Historically, the conversations around sex ebb and flow.”

“To heal together is a cool experience which doesn’t happen all the time, but it happens. Hearing someone talk about their shame or their guilt that they feel when maybe that guilt shouldn’t be there, but it is. It begs the question of, ‘wow, what guilt am I putting on myself or what shame am I carrying around that’s not warranted?’”
