In this podcast episode, we debunk some myths about sexual
desire, illuminate the impact that chronic stress can play in
women’s low desire, and discuss Dr. Brotto’s research which found
that mindfulness can help manage chronic stress and improve desire.
Dr. Lori Brotto aims to place emphasis on pleasure-focused (rather
than dysfunction-based) language for women with low sexual desire.
