Welcome to Episode 427 of the Sexology Podcast! Today, I’m excited to be joined by Catherine Auman, a marriage and family therapist with extensive expertise in Tantra. We look into the fascinating world of Tantra and its role in deepening intimacy, exploring how couples can move beyond routine interactions to cultivate more sensual and spiritual connections.


In this episode, Catherine shares her personal journey into Tantra, how she integrates it into couples therapy, and why it’s a transformative tool for fostering intimacy. We discuss the importance of embodiment, the challenge of transitioning from daily responsibilities into a sensual mindset, and practical beginner-friendly meditation techniques.
