We all crave connection. We long for partnership and passion. We pray for sexual ecstasy, rapture, and union. We know in our bones there is more to explore, more pleasure to be had. We want it all. And we want to give our all. But we don't have a map to lead us into that territory. Susan Bratton's Six Essentials for Connected Sex give us that map. Much of the relationship advice we hear is rooted in the belief that “relationships are hard,” and you have to do a lot of healing work before you can love freely. The approach mapped out in Sexual Soulmates turns that model upside down by making playful sex the focal point for healing and transformation. Relationship frustrations melt away in the crucible of what Susan calls "erotic playdates." The time and energy that previously went into the struggle gets redirected.

There are many services available to caregivers of patient with specific needs, but our concern is exclusively to comfort and help the caregiver.
