Balancing Romance and Care in Disabled Relationships

What happens when love, intimacy, and caregiving intertwine? Join Madeline and Alistair as they explore navigating sex and relationships when your partner is also your carer. Guests Mia and Troy Wallace who have been together for nearly three decades discuss the challenges of balancing care roles with intimacy, the assumptions strangers make about their relationship, and the inventive ways they’ve kept romance alive. Also joining the conversation is Tess Devèze, occupational therapist and somatic sexologist, offering their expertise in supporting people with disability and their partners to connect, explore intimacy, and move beyond clinical touch to intentional, sensual touch.
