A Different Kind of Resolution

• What we “should’ do vs. what is my “yes”
• Getting in touch with feelings and desires
• Unproductive patterns – giving in and going along to please a partner
• How do we shift the experience?
• What do you want to feel (sexually)?
• Reflecting on great times
• What are the challenges of this process?
