53. Feel Safe with Sexual Desire

In this new series, Sam explores how she found safety in sexual expression.  Five years ago, she felt disconnected from her own sexuality and body, numb, pressured by expectation, sexually closed and wondering if she just wasn’t a sexual person.  Now, she feels so alive and expressive, empowered, and joyful in her sexual expression.  In this series, she breaks down some of the tools, practices, and mindset shifts that helped her make this truly incredible transformation.  In this episode, Sam discusses the importance of feeling safe with sexual desire - both your own and your partners, and how to achieve a greater sense of safety. She explores the specific steps you can take to feel safer with sexual desire and with sex generally, including the importance of processing past experience, examining how sex was discussed in childhood, and introducing sex positive resources into your life.
