#129 Desire and Your Body: Judith Swack on Shame, Trauma & Sexuality

What happens when there is a disconnect between what your mind and your body wants?

In this episode I explore with Judith Swack, creator of Healing from the Body Level Up (HBLU), about sexual shame, trauma, desire and what she describes as experiencing sex from the body's point of view.

We explore:

• Sexual shame and its impact on desire.
• The conflict between consciously wanting something and not feeling safe enough to want it.
• What Judith describes as a phobia of sexual desire.
• How religious and cultural messages can become attached to sexuality.
• A live tapping demonstration during the episode.
• How Judith works with unconscious patterns around sex.
• The relationship between the mind, body and erotic desire.
