From trauma trigger crying to self-pleasure after getting hit in the face

In this deeply personal episode, I share what happened after getting unexpectedly hit in the face by a soccer ball and how that moment triggered an old trauma response connected to surviving D V and having my nose broken years ago.Even though I knew logically that I was safe, my body didn’t feel safe.This episode is a real and raw conversation about nervous system triggers, somatic healing, emotional release, self-soothing, self-pleasure and why mindset work alone is often not enough when it comes to trauma and embodiment.I also share:The somatic tools I used in the moment to regulate myselfWhat it means to “close the loop” after an emotional triggerWhy suppressing emotions keeps them stored in the bodyHow pleasure and pain are deeply connectedWhy expanding your capacity to feel sadness, anger and grief also expands your capacity for pleasure, love and alivenessThe shift from numbness and disconnection into embodied pleasureHow women often disconnect from feeling in order to surviveThis episode is an invitation to soften your armour, reconnect to your body and remember that pleasure is not separate from healing.
