Building Tolerance for Pleasure
from Embody: Daily Energetic Transmissions w/ Briana Villegas · host Briana Villegas
In this episode, Briana explores the question: “how long can you actually stay with positive feelings?” We say we want more joy, pleasure, and ease, but our nervous systems often struggle to tolerate the intensity of positive sensation just as much as negative sensations. Through a simple but powerful sensory practice, she invites you to notice your capacity for both pleasant and unpleasant experiences, and how they mirror each other in the body. This episode reframes nervous system work as not just increasing tolerance for discomfort, but expanding your ability to hold pleasure without shutting it down.Links & Resources🌱 Resonating with this message and want deeper, personalized support?
