Dr Hilary Lindberg and Dr Daniel Brown have spent their careers talking about the things most people find hardest to say out loud. In this podcast, they bring those conversations out of the room and into your ears.

Sex is everywhere, and yet it’s still one of the hardest things to talk about. Much of what we’re shown about it comes from movies, porn and conversations between friends where everyone’s exaggerating a little. None of that leaves much room for what sex and relationships are actually like for most people, which is often more varied, more nuanced, and sometimes messier than we’ve been led to expect.

Each episode, Hilary and Daniel dig into sexual health, sexual function and relational wellbeing with the curiosity and honesty they bring to their clinical work.

Whether you’re quietly wondering if what you’re experiencing is normal, curious to understand yourself or your relationship a little better, or a health professional who wants a clearer sense of this area, there’s a place for you here.

Pull up a spot on the couch. Nothing is off the table.

Episode 1 - Why Sexual Well-Being Matters

Sex is everywhere, and yet it's still one of the hardest things for most of us to actually talk about. That gap is exactly why we started this podcast.

In the very first episode of Sex on The Couch, clinical psychologists Dr Hilary Lindberg and Dr Daniel Brown pull up a chair and introduce themselves properly. We dig into why sex feels so awkward to talk about when it's shown to us constantly, and how the scripts we pick up from movies, porn and gender expectations shape what we think 'normal' should look like.

We also unpack the difference between sexual functioning and sexual wellbeing, and why there's no single standard for a healthy sex life, no matter how often someone tells you couples should be having it.

Pull up a spot on the couch for an honest conversation with a bit of cheek, grounded in clinical experience and the evidence, with room for some friendly disagreement along the way.
