#48. "The Pleasure is All Yours" - her new book and the importance of somatic work - with Dr Rachel Allyn, Holistic Psychologist

Isn't pleasure supposed to be gluttonous? Is too much pleasure a bad thing? Maybe. But not enough pleasure might be worse. "Pleasure" is a word many associate with sexual experiences. But pleasure sits alongside joy, gratitude, and our erotic energy – all the stuff that makes us feel alive. In this episode, Dr Rachel Allyn and I discuss how sex and pleasure were discussed in her home growing up, and what exactly is somatic therapy? Dr Rachel will tell us about her framework and practice of Bodyfullness and unpack what's in her new book! About the book, "The Pleasure is All Yours": Reconnect and reclaim your inner sense of pleasure and joy through the embodiment practices of bodyfulness, which put you in touch with the natural wisdom of your body and enhance your connection with others. In this timely guide, holistic psychologist, relationship and sex therapist, and yoga teacher Dr. Rachel Allyn introduces bodyfulness, an expansion of mindfulness and embodiment method that awakens the body's own capacity for healing and joy.
