Sex, pleasure, and intimacy are often framed as indulgences. But what if they’re essential to healing, longevity, and accessing non-ordinary states of consciousness?
In this episode of The Psychedelic Report, host Dr. Dave Rabin sits down with sex therapist, educator, and author Juliana Hauser for a powerful conversation about the intersection of sexuality, pleasure, trauma healing, and psychedelic states.
Together, they explore how intimacy and orgasm can act as gateways to altered states of consciousness without the use of substances, and why pleasure is not a luxury but a core component of human health. Drawing from neuroscience, clinical work, and ancient wisdom, the conversation reframes sex as a teacher, a regulator of the nervous system, and a path to deeper self-connection.
Juliana shares insights from her work with clients healing from sexual trauma, including how breathwork, somatic awareness, and micro-pleasure practices can rebuild safety in the body and restore agency. Dr. Rabin connects these experiences to psychedelic science, time dilation, and the brain’s capacity to heal through presence and connection.
This episode challenges cultural shame around sexuality and invites listeners to see pleasure and intimacy as vital tools for resilience, authenticity, and well-being.Web: https://dr-juliana.com/Book: A New Position on SexWeb: https://thepsychedelic.reportInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drdavidrabinX: https://twitter.com/DrDavidRabinMore from Dr. Dave: https://www.drdave.io/
