In this eye-opening video, Dr. Doug Weiss explores how the voices we create in our minds, often through fantasies or past experiences, can influence our real-world sexual desires and behaviors. These “voice templates” are deeply ingrained, shaping how we respond to attraction, intimacy, and sexual connection. Dr. Weiss breaks down how these voices can become problematic in our relationships, especially when we begin to expect our real-life partners to meet the fantasies and scripts we've created in our heads.

Dr. Weiss provides practical solutions for identifying and retraining your sexual voice template to foster healthier sexual and relational dynamics. He explains how certain voices—whether it's the desire to be wanted, in control, or validated—can create confusion, arousal, or even frustration when they aren’t met in real sexual encounters. These voices can drive us to seek out external validation or relationships that feed into our fantasies, often leading to emotional disconnection with our spouse.

By following these steps, you can heal your sexual brain and create a more fulfilling, authentic sexual relationship with your spouse. You’ll discover how to move past the scripts of fantasy and embrace a deeper connection rooted in real love, intimacy, and understanding.
