Karina Lagarrigue graces the podcast in a 3 part series. She is a sexologist and couples therapist, mainly with expats and shares with us her journey toward her doctorate, her TCK experience, and the “dance”. Mike stumbles over another name .. :D (3:40). Karina discusses the final road she is on with her thesis and publishing her fascinating findings in a series of articles more palatable to the audience (3:50). Mike weighs in on the complexity of psychology and Karina responds with her experience in the field (7:30). The ridiculous question of course is asked. It is as uncomfortable for Karina as it is for any of us (12:10). Mike gets into the weeds of asking about discrimination sounding like (17:25) the colonies rather than from Spain. He then starts to nerd out about what he’d like to study for his PhD (19:00). Karina shares how she became the “Dance Therapist” (21:00) as a sexologist and couples therapist, helping them reconnect with their bodies. Mike (28:30) suddenly wonders about the gender dynamic with leading and its connection with ‘dance’ in the bedroom. Do we do what makes everyone else comfortable or ourselves? How does that work? Karina’s answer dives into their TCK upbringing and the dynamics around the expat parent’s lives and THEIR needs (30:30).
