After 15 years of marriage and two kids, we had lost our connection. This course gave us a roadmap back. The section on starting with non-sexual touch was a beautiful way to rebuild trust.

I took this course after recovering from illness. Dr. Ross addresses the emotional complexity of reconnecting with such sensitivity. I felt seen and understood throughout.
