Terrified of Dating After Divorce (How To Bounce Back)

Listen Now

In this Sex with Emily episode, Dr. Emily brings back holistic psychologist Dr. Scott Lyons for live caller coaching sessions that’ll change how you think about sex and dating.

A woman married 10 years whose husband won’t explore sexually at all—why “I want to try new things” might sound like “what we’re doing isn’t good enough” to a partner raised in a conservative home.

What “deepthroating” really represents when your partner grew up being told sex was wrong—and the outside-the-bedroom conversation they need to have before anything changes in bed.

A woman terrified about her first date after a breakup because she thinks the sex will be “unwilling”—the breathwork practice that gets you out of your anxious mind and into your confident body.

Why a first date is just a “warm-up” to see if you’re having fun, not an audition for marriage—and how to tell if someone’s worth seeing naked just by watching how they treat wait staff.

The reframe that takes all the pressure off dating: ditch the checklist, get present in your body, and remember you’re the gatekeeper with all the power.
