The Heart of Desire at the Alvin Sherman Library

Valentine’s Day is for lovers. Hollywood tends to equate love and desire, but real-life love stories are so much richer, layered as they are with varying degrees of sex, commitment, connection, vulnerability, curiosity, humor, and unpredictability. Drs. Green and Flemons will share some insights regarding desire and love, drawing from 30 years of seeing couples in their clinical practice and 30 years of practice being a couple. They will explore what creates, builds, and sustains sexual attraction, desire, and intimacy in relationships over time.

Special Guests: Shelley Green, Ph.D., LMFT and Douglas G. Flemons, Ph.D., LMFT
