My past naysayers:- “Forget about Singapore. Singaporeans don’t deserve you.” (on hearing what I do for a living).
- “I don’t need your help. I have three children.” (guy from networking event)
- My on-off lover of 3 years: “Deep down, I cannot accept what you do for a living.” (on why he won’t want a future with me)
- “I don’t see you happy running your practice. You’re too ambitious than that.”
- Passive – Just listen; keep opinions to self
- Passive-aggressive – Just listen but sabotage/ express displeasure/ disagreement in other little ways
- Aggressive – About expressing and winning at all costs
- Assertive – Saying what you need to say without any apology or needing to feel sorry for the way you feel
- “Thank you. I’d rethink (or re-look) about what you just suggested.” (saying I did think/ look at this before)
- “Sure. I should try this again.” (meaning I did it before)
- “I appreciate your advice but I know what I’m doing.”
- “Thank you for your concern. I am doing OK. I rather not talk about work right now.”
About Dr. Martha Tara Lee
Surrounded by friends who were sexually inhibited and struck by dire lack of positive conversations around sex and sexuality in Singapore, Dr. Martha Tara Lee set out to make a positive difference in embarking on her doctorate in human sexuality before launching Eros Coaching in 2009. Today, she remains dedicated to working with individuals and couples who wish to lead self-actualised and pleasure-filled lives.
She also holds certificates in counselling, coaching and sex therapy, and her fourth degree – a Masters in Counselling in May 2018. In practice for more than 10 years, she is the only certified sexuality educator and certified sexuality educator supervisor by the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT) in Singapore. She is also a Red Tent Women’s Circles Facilitator from Star of Ishtar.
Often cited in the local media, Dr. Lee is the appointed sex expert for Men’s Health Singapore, and Men’s Health Malaysia. She was recognised as one of ‘Top 50 Inspiring Women Under 40′ by Her World in July 2010, and one of ‘Top 100 Inspiring Women’ by CozyCot in March 2011. She has published four books: Love, Sex and Everything In-Between, Orgasmic Yoga, From Princess to Queen and {Un}Inhibited.
Martha works with individuals and couples in private coaching sessions, and conducts her own workshops. She takes prides in making sure all her workshops are also fun, educational, and sex-positive. This comes easily to her because even though she is extremely dedicated and serious about her work, she fundamentally believes that sex is meant to be fun, wonderful, amazing and sacred. As such, this serious light-heartedness has shone through again and again. For her full profile, click here. Email her here.
