Episode 54: Embodying Your Desire Part II
Welcome back to the Breaking Free Podcast, where we continue our journey of profound self-discovery through a Body, Mind, Spirit Approach to Mental Health. This week, your host Sommer Seitz is joined once again by the insightful intimacy and relationship coach, Naomi Slater.
Naomi Slater is an experienced Intimacy & Relationship coach, yoga teacher, and bio-energy therapist. She works with a unique blend of Tantric and Tao practices, combined with modern psychoanalytic tools, to help clients awaken their desire, heal relationships, and reclaim their power, pleasure, and passion. She's also the creator of the 'Awaken Your Desire' online course and works privately with couples online.
We're diving deeper into the vital education and tools that are often missing from conversations around desire and relationship building, especially when it comes to human sexuality.
In this candid discussion, Sommer and Naomi explore how societal shame, religious conditioning, and upbringing can create significant blockages to authentic sexual expression. They highlight that while curiosity about sex is a natural human drive, many traditional sources of "education," like some forms of media and pornography, offer misleading and often harmful portrayals. Our conversation emphasizes the importance of fostering healthy, consensual relationships and introduces powerful, practical tools like Imago Dialogue – a form of emotions-based communication that fosters deeper emotional awareness and connection – and the "wheel of consent" for cultivating truly fulfilling sexual experiences.
Tune in to discover how you can:
- Identify, value, and communicate your emotions more effectively.
- Understand the nuances of authentic consent in all intimate interactions.
- Release shame and wholeheartedly embrace your natural desires.
- Develop the profound "archetype of the lover" to experience a more soulful and deeply satisfying intimate life.
Whether you're looking to deepen your existing relationships or embark on a journey of self-understanding around your own sexuality, this episode offers a safe, supportive space and invaluable insights to help you break free from limiting beliefs and build healthier, more authentic connections.
