Solo - When I learned to say NO

In part 2 of my conversation with Jessi Kneeland, we talk about working through the messaging I received as a child about my body and sexuality, learning to say “no”, and how women protect men’s feelings during heterosexual sex. Thanks to Jessi for interviewing ME! She is an amazing body image coach and I highly recommend following her on Instagram and signing up for her weekly #TransparentTuesday emails. 3:20 – Being assaulted by my dad, but not believing it was sexual because his hands didn’t get under my clothing 6:07 – Confronting my father about the assault 8:49 – Silencing and gaslighting 9:41 – Detangling violence and sexuality in my brain 14:26 – Learning what consent actually means 16:45 – Learning to say “no” so that I could have a real, strong “yes” 18:20 – Protecting men’s feelings during heterosexual sex 19:24 – The body image work I’ve done 21:30 – Conversations I heard about my mother’s body and how that affected my own body image 23:45 – What it’s like to carry conflicting beliefs about myself 25:43 – AM I NORMAL? question – Is it normal that I have no sex drive during quarantine? 26:04 – Leah’s answer – YES!
