The Pleasure Principles with Dr Jordin Wiggins

#168 - Why High-Achieving Women Dissociate During Sex (And How to Reconnect to Pleasure)


Listen Later

Do you ever find yourself mentally checking out during intimacy—thinking about your to-do list or even feeling “the ick” when your partner touches you? You’re not alone. 

High-achieving women often struggle with dissociation during sex, and in this episode, Dr. Jordin Wiggins is breaking down exactly why it happens and how you can start healing.

Dissociation is not a personal failure—it’s your nervous system’s way of protecting you when pleasure doesn’t feel safe. Whether it's because you’ve been conditioned to prioritize productivity over receiving, or because of past trauma (recognized or unrecognized), dissociation keeps you stuck in your head instead of present in your body.

In less than 30-minutes, here’s what you’ll learn:

  • Why high-achieving women are more likely to dissociate during intimacy
  • How past trauma—both big and small—can shape your relationship with pleasure
  • The 4 steps to start reconnecting to your body and feeling safe with intimacy again

The truth is, if you’ve been “going somewhere else” during sex, you can also find your way back. This is your invitation to start healing, reclaim your feminine power, and experience intimacy and pleasure in a way that truly nourishes you.

If this episode resonated with you, share it with a friend who needs to hear it. The more we talk about this, the more we heal.
