In this potent + hilarious + fun + deep conversation with Felicia - she interviews me!!! Ep. 171. FELICIA INTERVIEWS ME!!! Telling your story is medicine // pleasure as protest // reclaiming the Self after sxxual assaultThe theme is sxxual assault, and damnnn we cover a lot of territory beyond and around that topic. This episode is for anyone who has a hard time talking about things that have happened to them, has spent years keeping the "bad" parts locked away, who thinks there's something fundamentally broken about them that needs fixing, and/or has experienced any kind of trauma.We chat about:Why telling your story (even when it terrifies you) is one of the most radical acts of healingHow the witnesses to your trauma can sometimes cause more harm than the original perpetratorThe somatic experience of carrying sexual trauma in your body -- and what actually helps release itWhy your "too much" sensitivity is your superpower (not something to fix or overcome)How practices like Existential Kink can help you alchemize pain into pleasure for deeeeep cellular radical healing and restorationThe difference between shame that keeps you small and the kind of radical self-acceptance that sets you freeWhy running, walking, and forward movement literally rewire your brain for trauma processingHow to stop being terrified of your own triggers and start seeing them as portals to freedomI share my own story of sxxual assault, the decade of silence that followed, and the moment I decided to stop giving my abusers power by staying small + quiet.This conversation gets really real about intrusive thoughts, including one about peeing on people hahahahah....and learning to love and laugh with the messy, vengeful, supposedly unacceptable parts of ourselves.Listen below 💎
