198. Juliana Hauser: We Are All Sexual Beings


Listen Later

In today’s episode we speak with Dr. Juliana Hauser whose work is about holistic sexuality.  She talks today about how sex saved her life multiple times, and the importance of understanding how sexuality is intricately connected to all areas of our life.  We loved how Dr. Juliana balances openness and vulnerability with grounded theory and research.  We definitely learned new things in this conversation!

We talk about:

  • Dr Juliana’s childhood as a wild, free spirited child who loved to hang from trees that then shifted in middle school when she began to follow rules and move toward achievement.
  • Her short stint as an actress in LA and the seminal moment when she had to seduce someone in an acting class that revealed to her the disconnect she had with her own sexuality and a newfound drive to understand this.
  • How our culture fears sexually confident women.
  • The 9 pillars of holistic sexuality that Dr Juliana created through her research and the importance of exploring who you are as a sexual being.
  • The pillar of pleasure, using our 5 senses, our fears of pleasure and why she talks about self-pleasure vs masturbation.
  • The pillar of desire, and how desire, or vitality as she often defines it, can often came back even when we think it is completely gone in our lives.
  • Bio: Dr Juliana Hauser is a licensed marriage and family therapist and has a Phd in Counseling Education.  Her mission is to connect people with their essence – their truest self – through uncovering, demystifying, and reclaiming their unique sexuality. She is here to evolve sexual education so we can enter the final frontier of personal development.  Her recent book, “A New Position on Sex: A Guide to Greater Sexual Confidence, Pleasure and Authenticity” has been called “a liberating and evidence-informed path forward” and a “must read for anyone longing to bring more truth, vitality, and presence into the erotic life”.
