#25 Sexuality and Trauma 2

in this follow up to my first podcast where I raised the issue of human sexuality and its relationship to trauma, here I discuss why the emotional component is so vital to good sexual functioning.

In the light of polyvagal theory, we know that neurological (internal) safety is key to being able to function well sexually. Where mobilisation with threat occurs we cannot play, we feel too threatened, where immobilisation with fear occurs we cannot be intimate.

Sexual orientation or expression is along a continuum and many of us grow up with shame around this which inhibits good relationships until we come to  acknowledge our shame as a learned response to overwhelm.
