Sex, trauma, and shame shape how many women experience intimacy, especially after motherhood with Darshana Avila
In this episode of EmotionAL Support, host Alessandra Torresani talks with Darshana Avila, sexological bodyworker, somatic healing practitioner, and intimacy coach featured on Netflix’s Sex, Love & Goop, about why so many women feel disconnected from pleasure, desire, and their own bodies.
This conversation explores:
• What sexological bodywork is and how it supports healing
• How trauma, dissociation, and nervous system regulation affect sex and intimacy
• Why women often lose desire in safe relationships
• Sex after motherhood and reclaiming confidence in your body
• The Madonna/Whore complex and sexual shame
• Consent, boundaries, and communication in relationships
• How somatic healing helps women feel present, empowered, and connected
• Why erotic energy is about life force, creativity, and self-confidence
This episode is for women navigating:
sexual healing, trauma recovery, motherhood identity shifts, dating, relationships, and reclaiming pleasure without shame or performance.
