#16 - Let’s Talk Somatics + Sex! w/ Marina, the Compassionate Somatic Coach

TW: this episode mentions sexual assault and rape.

In this episode I sit down with Marina, the Compassionate Somatic Coach to talk about somatic work (working with the body) and how our body affects how we show up sexually.   

We cover:

  • why compassion is important in our journey to connect more with our bodies and our sexuality
  • why nervous system regulation is so important in a relational context
  • regulation, projections, triggers, and trauma that comes up for two people in relationships
  • moving through sexual trauma and working through it to show up more openly in relationships
  • her journey from being uninterested in sex to opening up to it again
