Dr. Tammy Nelson Speaking Topics
-
The New Monogamy
In today's evolving relationship landscape, traditional monogamy is being reimagined. Dr. Nelson explores how couples can create personalized relationship agreements that honor both connection and autonomy. This topic addresses the reality that modern relationships face unique challenges: longer lifespans, digital temptations, and changing social norms. She presents "The New Monogamy" as an ongoing conversation between partners about boundaries, desires, and expectations. Rather than assuming one-size-fits-all rules, couples learn to co-create agreements that reflect their values and needs. This includes discussions about emotional boundaries, sexual exclusivity, online relationships, and transparency. Dr. Nelson provides practical frameworks for these conversations, helping couples navigate jealousy, trust, and desire while building stronger partnerships. Her approach acknowledges that monogamy isn't static but evolves throughout a relationship's lifecycle.
-
Sexual Desire & Intimacy
Desire discrepancy is the top complaint in couples therapy. Dr. Nelson explores why passion fades and how to reignite it. She addresses the paradox of intimacy: how emotional closeness can dampen erotic desire. The topic covers responsive versus spontaneous desire, helping couples understand their unique arousal patterns. Dr. Nelson presents practical strategies for maintaining eroticism: scheduling sex, expanding sexual repertoires, and addressing performance pressure. She discusses medical factors affecting desire: hormones, medications, and health conditions. The presentation includes exercises for sensate focus, mindful sexuality, and fantasy exploration. Special attention is given to desire changes across life stages: parenthood, menopause, and aging. Dr. Nelson addresses technology's impact on intimacy and strategies for digital boundaries. Her approach balances acceptance of natural desire fluctuations with actionable interventions for improvement.
