Avoiding Sex? Support Your/Your Partners Nervous System

In this episode we are doing a deep dive into one of the key ingredients of a great sex life - the nervous system. When we talk about creating safety for ourselves and our partner this is what we mean - working with the nervous system to get out of fight or flight. When your partner is avoiding talking to you about sex, avoids sex, or rushes through sex - there's a nervous system issue happening. When we understand it we can solve it to make sex a fun, safe and playful place to go. 
In this episode Sofia will break down:

- how the nervous system works 
- three key ways it shows up in our sex life 
- what it means when we avoid talking about sex and having sex
- 4 ways to create safety for your nervous system (or your partners).

Friends there is a mild TW on this episode. I share some things from my own life - mostly of just being a woman in the world. Men in particular - this an importance listen and it may raise some discomfort for you. Please sit with it and reach out if you need support.
