Top 5 Resources for Couples+
Here’s a list of resources from Melony Crayton, LPC, for those in relationship structures that go beyond a two-person dynamic (though those in a two-person relationship may benefit too!).
1. Lovers by Shan podcast
This podcast, by Shan Boodram Brady, helps you better understand your own sexuality and intimacy. From the website: “Lovers by Shan is an education-first space where listeners come to better understand their own intimate lives through the life lessons and expertise of others. Shan’s mission is to empower everyone to be their own intimacy expert in the bedroom and beyond by treating guests of the podcast as educators in their own right.”
2. {THE AND} Card Deck, Couples Edition
This is a conversation card deck that gives questions and prompts to help build connection within your couple+. From the website: “Introducing the Couples Edition – the intimacy-inspiring card game from The Skin Deep that will transform your relationship. With 199 thought-provoking questions and prompts, this deck goes beyond surface-level conversation. You’ll finally get to discover new and exciting aspects of your partner you never knew existed.”
This is a 6-episode Netflix series that shows real couples learning how to enhance their relationships through pleasure and intimacy.
4. No More Fighting by Rafaella Smith-Fiallo
This is a journal meant to be completed within your couple+ to help you grow, communicate, and build connection. From the website: “This guided journal has everything you could want from a relationship book, including explorative prompts and expert advice designed to help you work through 52 of the most common challenges faced by couples, from poor communication to attachment issues.”
This is a resource hub on all things relationship and sexuality, including blogs, book clubs, resources, and podcast episodes. Healing Exchange is also a private therapy practice if you are looking for a new therapist.
This resource roundup is brought to you by Melony Crayton, LPC and CSTIP, sex and relationship therapist at Healing Exchange.
