I have participated in the type of encounters in this show. They can be very healing, but they are sacred. The professionals that conducted the encounter workshops I attended were very clear with their boundaries and kept professional distance. Sex, Love and Goop suggests from the beginning that being a friend with your intimacy coach will get you what you want in the bedroom or get you on a Netflix show. This show illustrates the epitome of blurring professional boundaries and left me with a yucky feeling; it felt exploitive. Since when can we as regular people in society become friends with our therapists and coaches? This show just represents another way that celebrities can get away with things normal people can't. I would encourage anyone looking at this show to research the integrity of a professional client relationship and what the code of ethics are in the respective professions. These code of ethics are what keeps the client safe and sacred when exploring something as sacred as sex and intimacy.
