Lisa Wiseman and Gila Bronner at the Parkinson Society Speaker Series
The Parkinson Society Central & Northern Ontario branch did a wonderful job hosting the event featuring speaker Gila Bronner, Director, Sex Therapy Service, Sexual Medicine Center, Dept. of Urology; Sheba Medical Center, Tel-Hashomer, ISRAEL.
Gila spoke about issues relating to intimacy, sex, and emphasized the importance of personal time – time where the person with Parkinson’s and their caregiver have an opportunity to be apart – either by themselves or with others, but without the other present.
Gila answered a range of audience questions including a discussion about the difficulty in distinguishing between aging related issues and Parkinson’s issues. She talked about problem solving and emphasized the need for open communication and frankness.
