I was triggered hard during sex, and I wanted to share (after processing) how I navigate a trauma response showing up in my own personal sex life. I've done tons of work on my sexuality - and there are always new ways my body integrates things on deeper levels. Some things I share out of this experience are: understanding what my body needs and how it helps me process triggers or big emotions during sex, shame and guilt associated with sex and feelings during sex, the fear of getting triggered happening again and what we did to navigate that time to have sex. I also shared how the intimacy I created with my body helped me process things much quicker, the complexity of limiting sexual experiences of the past and the most important thing to practice mastery in when it comes to integrating big feelings + hard experiences.
Incase you haven't heard; I created an online course for couples. If you are desiring to spice up you sex life, intimacy and have FUN! Tune in to get all the info and click the link to check out the course.
This online couples experience will change the way you do intimacy and each other!
