Welcome to episode 351 of Sexology Podcast! Today I am delighted to be speaking with Dr. Douglas Weiss. In this episode, we discuss betrayal in relationships, how therapeutic polygraphs can help in rebuilding trust and the value of intentional rituals and emotional intimacy to create a strong relationship.
