Release Shame and Embrace Your Sexual Self
Sex is one of the most natural human experiences, yet many people carry heavy feelings of shame or guilt around it.
Maybe you were taught growing up that sex was “wrong” or “dirty.”
Perhaps past experiences left you feeling unsafe, judged, or disconnected from your body.
Or maybe you struggle to enjoy intimacy because of religious or cultural beliefs that made you feel guilty for your desires.
Shame and guilt around sexuality can show up in many ways:
Avoiding sex or feeling disconnected during intimacy.
Anxiety about your body, desires, or performance.
Difficulty expressing needs or setting boundaries.
Feeling “broken” or “abnormal” because of your sexuality.
These feelings can become barriers to experiencing intimacy, pleasure, and healthy self-expression.
Where Sexual Shame Comes From
Sexual shame often takes root early in life, shaped by messages from family, culture, religion, or past relationships.
It may also come from traumatic experiences that caused you to disconnect from your sexuality as a form of protection.
While these patterns feel deeply ingrained, they don’t have to define your relationship with yourself or others.
Healing is possible.
