EP 36: THE SHADOW SIDE OF SEX: What No One Tells You About Erotic Intimacy, Power & Healing

Update: 2025-05-24

Description

👉 Is your sex life really safe? Or have you unknowingly internalized trauma as transformation?

In this episode of the Embodied Love Lounge, we crack open one of the most taboo and urgent conversations in the world of sex education and sacred intimacy: what happens when erotic healing turns into spiritual manipulation—and how to protect your body, your truth, your pleasure, as well as recognize truly, trauma informed facilitation.
