What Can Our Fantasies Tell Us? | Justin Gottlieb on Tantra, Fantasies, & Desires
Description
Some of my favorite quotes from this episode: "Where there's horniness, there's healing..." & "Vulnerability is the gateway to intimacy."
Justin Gottlieb, a sexual freedom coach and tantric facilitator, joins this week for a deep dive into fantasies, tantra, and sexual liberation.
We explore...
- What is Tantra, really? Justin’s take, why it’s not just about sex, and how to apply to everyday life
- Healing through desire: How fantasies can open deeper pathways of self-understanding & unlock deeper intimacy, connection, and healing
- The role of vulnerability and why it deepens connection
- Why fantasies aren't random, what they may reveal, & what is possible by exploring them
- The difference between keeping fantasies in the mind vs. exploring them in reality
- How to talk about fantasies with your partner without blame or shame
- Why all events are emotionally neutral, until we assign meaning
- Why jealousy is an invitation instead of an enemy & embracing the full spectrum of emotions
- The truth about taboo fantasies
- Creating a safe space for exploration & fantasy fulfillment
- Justin’s formula for a fully-lived life: Healing → Exploration → Mastery
Whether you're tantra-curious, exploring your edges, or simply love honest conversations about desire, this episode will leave you inspired, informed, and maybe a little turned on. 😉
