Explicit content warning
02/19/24 • 61 min
As a neurosomatic relationship and intimacy coach, safety and nervous system regulation are at the heart of Piper Rose's work. They bridge the gap between individual trauma and collective healing in the LGBTQ+, Poly, and Kink communities, emphasizing the crucial role safety plays in self-expression, identity, and overall health.
In this episode, Piper delves into this concept of collective healing, distinguishing between individuality versus individuation and highlighting the transformative power of finding a deep sense of connection to one's authentic self and the collective. We also discuss the impact of structural trauma on expression and the complex layers of trauma that manifest not just through events but through the lack of attunement and acceptance from others, further exacerbating feelings of loneliness and shame.
Piper shares their insights on important topics like navigating post-trauma identity, emotional processing for healing, getting in touch with your “essence nature” and dismantling internalized shame.
This is an important conversation on the nervous system’s role in identity and expression. Tune in now!
