Eating Disorders And Sex

GETSOME

You know that feeling at 2am when you're Googling alone, hoping no one finds out? When sex feels complicated and there's no one safe to talk to about it? When you're wondering if something is wrong with you, or if you're the only one feeling this way? You're not. And you never were. GETSOME is the podcast for anyone who's carried sexual shame in silence. It's for the questions you've been too embarrassed to ask, the patterns that confuse you, and the nagging feeling that maybe you're not broken... you're just human. After a hiatus to complete her first book, certified sex therapist Michelle Fischler is back with the unshaming conversations you've been waiting for. GETSOME doesn't give you technique lists or clinical lectures. Instead, Michelle meets you at the exact point of your confusion and helps you see what's actually happening in your mind, body and your nervous system, so you can stop measuring yourself against myths and start trusting yourself. Coming April 28, 2026: The Unshaming Guide to Early Ejaculation and Lasting Longer. Learn more and pre-order at comingsoonbook.ca. Season 4 is in the works, and we're genuinely excited to be back.

This episode will not only be helpful for clinicians but also for people who have struggled to experience pleasure in their body stemming from complicated relationships with food and body image.

She has authored publications in professional journals and popular media, and she has presented internationally on topics related to eating disorders, couples, and sexuality.
