So who is Steve Sweeney?

How does he know about this relationship stuff?

If you want a more formal introduction to my work history and qualifications scroll down the page or CLICK HERE!

I’m in my mid 60’s, living with my wife of 18 years, and our two teenagers, plus I have a son in his late twenties, from
my first marriage.

As a young man I was angry, numb, cut-off, disconnected, lonely & scared.

It’s been a long and arduous path learning about connecting, relating, sexuality, dealing with conflict and love. My journey on the path of relating, has covered the whole emotional colour palette. The highs have been filled with love, light, joy, deep connection and ecstatic pleasure. While the lows have been many – often with deep & dark submersion’s into the most hidden, corners of my psyche – revealing such grief and depths of despair, that often I felt like I would not see joy again.

I’ve travelled many of the relationship options that are available.

Like many of us, I’ve been single and painfully lonely. Single and loving it. I’ve ‘lived in sin’ with a few women in committed relationships. Experienced betrayal, serial monogamy, marriage, separation & divorce, and have been a separated dad. I experimented with polyamory for nearly 4 years and decided to go on a one year journey in celibacy, in order to heal.

It’s been quite the journey. When I look back on ‘who I used to be in relationship’ — I wonder that I had any relationships at all. As I used to be very dysfunctional, needy, dishonest with myself and my partners, and emotionally numb & cut off.

One of the things I’ve learned is it’s never too late to begin, or re-start the journey, in growing and learning about ourselves, via being more authentic and real with those we love and who love us. The amazing thing about relationships is, they can provide us with such a massive opportunity to grow and learn more about ourselves and how we operate.

In deep appreciation for your time today. Thank you.
