Episode 2 of Embrace is an honest discussion between Kavita (she / her), Dae (they / them) and Susan (she / her) exploring their experiences of somatic processes and how they achieve embodied safety in the context of everyday life.

This discussion offers insights and learnings that Kavita and Dae discovered as survivors of sexual violence, on their journeys to reconnect and feel safe in their bodies after trauma. These reflections offer an important starting point for anyone seeking to rebuild their capacity to feel their body and heal their relationship with sex and pleasure.
