From trauma trigger crying to somatic self-pleasure: Somatic Pleasure Alchemy

from Pleasurelit with Patricia · host Pleasurelit Patricia

In this deeply personal episode, I share what happened after getting unexpectedly hit in the face by a soccer ball and how that moment triggered an old trauma response connected to surviving D V and having my nose broken years ago.Even though I knew logically that I was safe, my body didn’t feel safe.This episode is a real and raw conversation about somatic pleasure alchemy, nervous system, somatic healing, emotional release, self-soothing, somatic self-pleasure and why mindset work alone is often not enough when it comes to trauma and embodiment.I also share:The somatic tools I used in the moment to regulate myselfWhat it means to “close the loop” after an emotional triggerWhy suppressing emotions keeps them stored in the bodySomatic pleasure alchemyHow pleasure and pain are deeply connectedWhy expanding your capacity to feel sadness, anger and grief also expands your capacity for pleasure, love and alivenessThe shift from numbness and disconnection into embodied pleasureHow women often disconnect from feeling in order to surviveThis episode is an invitation to soften your armour, reconnect to your body and remember that pleasure is not separate from healing. If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body, struggled to feel safe within yourself, or wondered whether deeper pleasure is truly possible for you, this is for you.Be & live PleasurelitStart your journey at ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://pleasurelit.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠I’m Patricia.I was the "good girl" and after years of disconnection and surviving a D V marriage, my own journey from people pleasing into pleasure-leading became the foundation for Pleasurelit®, my movement devoted to helping women awaken, deepen and widen their capacity for pleasure.I am the founder of Pleasurelit®, the bestselling author of The Pleasurelit Way, host of the top 5% podcast Pleasurelit with Patricia and an award winning pleasure explorer and educator.
