Esther Perel is a therapist who has changed our discourse about sexuality and coupledom. Her wisdom often shines through the language she uses to navigate the human theater of love and relationships. We collaborated with Carissa Potter from People I’ve Loved to compile an illustrated lexicon of some of the terms she uses in her On Being interview, from “erotic intelligence” to “play.”
Delve more deeply into Esther Perel's wisdom in her 2019 On Being conversation with Krista, “The Erotic Is an Antidote to Death.”
