In this episode of "SSRI’M OK," hosts Dr. Bijan Zarrabi, a psychiatry resident doctor, and Macey Isaacs, a stand-up comedian, are joined by the insightful Dr. Nikki Haddad. Dr. Haddad's clinical interests and expertise encompass women's mental health, trauma, and couples and sex therapy.
Join us as we dive deep into Dr. Haddad's journey and discover what inspired her to specialize in couples therapy. We explore the transformative benefits of couples therapy, including how it can strengthen relationships, improve communication, and foster a deeper emotional connection between partners. Dr. Haddad shares valuable insights and practical tips that can help couples navigate their challenges and enhance their relationships.
In this episode, you'll also learn about Dr. Zarrabi's love language, and how money can be more intimate than sex. We discuss the history of psychiatry's approach to sex, and Dr. Haddad's perspective on viewing sex from a pleasure lens rather than a pathological one. The conversation delves into the difference between arousal and desire, understanding sexual trauma, and Low Libido Disorder. We also address SSRI-induced sexual dysfunction, common misconceptions about sex, and the concept that all sex is queer sex.
Whether you're in a relationship or interested in the intricacies of mental health and therapy, this episode offers a wealth of knowledge and engaging conversation.
Tune in to gain a better understanding of the crucial role of couples therapy in promoting emotional well-being and maintaining healthy, fulfilling relationships.
