We’ve all heard of the fight/flight/freeze response, but how exactly does it relate to sex?
In this episode of Come Undone, certified sex coach Georgia Rose is joined by Amy White, a trauma-informed sexuality practitioner, to unpack how trauma rewires the nervous system.
Together they normalise feeling cut off from your body and eroticism in the wake of illness, grief and chronic stress, and explore what it really takes to reconnect with yourself after trauma.
Amy breaks down how the nervous system responds to fear and overwhelm, unpacks the fight/flight/freeze responses and how it influences everything from basic feelings of safety and presence, to processing our emotions, and feeling sensual once again
Together, Georgia and Amy move gently through different ways to come home to your body and sensuality again. And, more importantly, they explore what happens when you stop forcing healing and start listening instead.
Amy gives Georgia her second sexual homework assignment: practice the somatic “Goddess Breath” technique to regulate your nervous system and reconnect with your body and pleasure.
Through breathwork, sound, and mindful movement, Amy shares simple, practical tools to help regulate the nervous system, release stored emotion, and begin — slowly — to feel again.
Come Undone is an intimate audio-visual journey. Follow Georgia as she explores what happens when a sex coach goes ‘there’.
