What if the reason you struggle to receive pleasure has everything to do with how your nervous system was wired?In this episode, I sit down with Lorina Manzanita, somatic intimacy coach, somatic experiencing trauma resolution practitioner, author, and educator with over 25 years of experience in the healing arts. We get into why so many empaths, caregivers, and people pleasers have a hard time receiving, how your nervous system sets your pleasure threshold, and how to expand your capacity for pleasure, intimacy, and connection through somatic practices. Lorina also introduces us to the savoring practice, the Wheel of Consent, and her own framework called the Four Rs of Fulfillment, all of which are practical tools you can start using right now.We also talk about:how self-abandonment shows up in intimate relationships, from tolerating touch you do not love to overgiving financially and emotionallywhy receiving a compliment, touch, money, or pleasure can feel physically uncomfortablethe savoring practice and how mindfully luxuriating in good feelings rewires your nervous systemwhy grief is a common response when people finally begin to receivehow advocating for your pleasure becomes even more important as your body and desires change over timeIf you have ever deflected a compliment, tolerated less than you deserve, or felt uncomfortable the moment things started to feel really good, this episode is your permission slip. You do not have to nibble on scraps. The full course meal is available, and you are allowed to receive it.Connect with Lorina ManzanitaWebsite: https://www.lorinamanzanita.com/Held and Fulfilled: A 6-week small group program for professional empaths who struggle with owning our desires & boundaries: https://integratingeros.com/Nourished: The Neuroscience of Receiving Beautifully http://www.integratingeros.com/nourished-mini-courseUse code WELCOME for 10% off your first orderhttps://motherlode-market.com/Download your FREE Pleasure Power Workbook: https://www.cometalkwithaimee.com/pleasurepowerguideElevate Your Intimacy with Lubify Lux lube.
