Losing the battle with your traumas? 🥊
Reading Time: 5 Minutes

Explore your Sensuality!
CONNECTION & INTIMACY
The connection that's least connected is often with ourselves.
It’s suicide prevention month, so here's a take on how stay healthy alone.
A life of following the 4 pillars: meditation, movement, connection, pleasure.
Have a sense of purpose. Be passionate about something. Maintain a consistent wellness routine. Make it a way of life.
Maintain financial and emotional independence to not get trapped into unhealthy relationships and attachments.

PASSION & PLEASURE
“Seven drops of the vital essence of food are required to produce one drop of the vital essence of blood. And it takes one cup of the vital essence of blood to produce one drop of the vital essence of semen.” - Tibetan medicine
Essentially, 1 drop of healthy semen = 1 cup of healthy blood. Per Tibetan medicine it’s wise to be careful of how you choose to ejaculate. As you age, your health, diet and how often you ejaculate affect you in more than one way.
EXPERT INSIGHT
Dear Feeling Seen,
"I’m interested in trauma-based pleasure work. At 15, I was sexually groomed and assaulted by my 40-year-old boss. A few years later I fell in love with someone who sexually abused me for years. Sex has never been the same. I feel shame, self-abandonment, and anxiety with every serious partner I’ve had in adulthood, despite tons of therapy. How do I overcome this? How do I even begin to accept prioritizing my own pleasure?"
Sincerely,
ATX Please Me,
Dear ATX Please Me,
Pause, breathe, and be kind to yourself. What happened to you is not on you. Your mind and body adapted to its environment to survive.
Traumatic experiences push us without asking how we feel.
Take time to reflect on what brings you joy and what takes it away.
Ask yourself:
What are you feeling?
What are you needing?
What are you experiencing right now?
Example:
I am feeling anxious.
I need to find solutions.
I am experiencing numbness with sex.
Once you know what is and isn’t nourishing, you can start to make space for what’s needed. In your submission you mentioned,
Therapy. It has the capacity to help us get through.
Toxic mental environments
stay with us
