Did you know that people-pleasing can ruin your relationships and your dates? Darshana Avila is a trauma-informed somatic educator, practitioner and international speaker who helps women reconnect with the most essential aspects of themselves — their truth, their desires, and their capacity for profound pleasure and power. Her work has been featured on Netflix’s Sex, Love & Goop, The Guardian, The New Yorker, and numerous leading podcasts.

In this episode of Last First Date Radio:

• What makes her body of work, Erotic Wholeness, different from many people's ideas about sex, intimacy and relationship coaching
• How people-pleasing shows up in intimate relationships, including in the dating process, and why it’s so problematic
• Some ways to unwind these patterns
• Examples of how clients have transformed from people pleasing in the bedroom to having authentic, satisfying sex lives
• How to bring this topic into a conversation with your partner
