We get into the nervous system, desire, pleasure, and why safety isn't something you find out there. It's something you build within.If you've ever numbed out just to keep going, felt guilty for wanting more, or wondered who you even are underneath all the roles you play — this one is for you.TOPICS DISCUSSED:Why numbing out the pain also means numbing out the joyThe shift that changes everything: you're not broken, you just don't have the skill yetWhy desire feels dangerous and the generations of conditioning behind thatHow to find safety within yourself instead of searching for it externallyWhy getting what you want can feel just as threatening as losing itChoregasms — how to bring pleasure and presence into everyday life, not just the big momentsConnect with Rachelle onInstagram | www.instagram.com/rachelleluvrakuFacebook | www.facebook.com/rachelle.luv.rakuWant to learn more about Rachelle’s work?
