In this groundbreaking episode, I welcome Dr. Danielle Harel and Celeste Hirschman, founders of the revolutionary Somatica Method, to explore how pleasure, embodiment, and emotional expression can transform your sexual experiences and relationships. We dive deep into why performance-based sexuality kills intimacy, how shame disconnects us from our bodies, and why pleasure can be a powerful entry point for healing trauma. Discover why many people don't know what they want sexually, how kinks and fantasies can become tools for emotional liberation, and practical techniques using breath, sound, and body awareness to unlock blocked energy. Whether you're struggling with intimacy, recovering from sexual trauma, or simply want to deepen your connection with pleasure and your partner, this episode offers a compassionate, body-based approach to sexual healing that goes far beyond traditional therapy.
