Reclaiming Intimacy: Overcoming the Sex Ghost, with Dr. Katie Stirling

Coping With Ghosting

Join Coach Gretta and Katie Stirling, Clinical Psychologist, Sexologist, and Gottman Certified Couples Therapist, for a compelling discussion on ghosting in intimate relationships. In this show, Dr. Stirling provides gentle guidance on:

• Being ghosted before becoming physically intimate with a partner
• Encountering a one-night stand ghost
• Experiencing ghosting when there's more emotional closeness and bonding after sex
• Being ghosted after an STD revelation
• Post-ghost sex: how to let go and enjoy yourself
• What to do if the sex ghost returns

We also discuss how to trust again, the complexities of identifying red flags, and the importance of open communication in new relationships. In this conversation, we aim to empower you with resilience and understanding of ghosting's broader effects on intimacy.

Note to All Listeners: Ghosting is defined as: The practice of ending a personal relationship with someone by suddenly and without explanation withdrawing from all communication (Oxford Languages).
When you leave an abusive situation without saying "goodbye," it's not ghosting, it's "self-protection." When you quietly exit a relationship after a boundary has been violated, it's not ghosting, it's "self-respect."
