Sexual Shame

Sexual shame teaches us that who we are is wrong, and that lesson can quietly set the stage for betrayal long before any line is crossed. Tim talks with therapist and intimacy coach Jocelyn Silva about growing up in worlds that made their sexuality something to hide (hers Catholic, his evangelical), and how they took opposite paths from the same root: never learning to be honest about their desires. It's a conversation about shame versus guilt, sex versus intimacy, and why authenticity and integrity—not secrecy—are the real foundation of connection. Neither excuses the affairs that followed, but both are honest about what made them possible. (Contains discussion of sexual addiction and suicidal ideation.)
