Owning Your Sexual Self

253. Healing Through Connection with Andre Lazarus


Listen Later

Hello! Welcome back to the Owning Your Sexual Self podcast! I'm so excited to finally welcome Andre Lazarus to the show. Andre is a somatic intimacy guide and a widely recognized voice in conversations around relationships, sexuality, and embodied connection, and his work brings such a grounded, compassionate perspective to intimacy. You may also recognize him from the UK series Virgin Island, where he helped reframe intimacy as something rooted in consent, curiosity, and connection. I have been looking forward to this conversation for a long time, and I am genuinely thrilled to finally welcome Andre onto the show.

In this episode:

  • What somatic intimacy work is and how it differs from talk based approaches
  • How safety, consent, and curiosity create the foundation for meaningful intimacy
  • What surrogate partner work is and how it supports therapeutic goals
  • What it can look like to rebuild safety within your own body
  • Simple embodied practices that help people feel more present and grounded
  • How curiosity can soften shame and open new pathways to connection
  • The role of intentional communication and regular relationship check ins
  • Why connection compassion and presence are essential parts of intimacy

Thank you so much for listening! Don't forget to share on your social media and tag me if you loved this episode!
