    263. A Guided Practice for Navigating Inner Conflict and Self Blame

    Hi all! We’re back with another minisode of the Owning Your Sexual Self podcast! This is stage two of Somato Respiratory Integration (SRI), a guided somatic practice to support you when you’re feeling conflicted, stuck, or hard on yourself. Through breath, body awareness, and simple prompts, you’ll begin to notice the different parts of you that are asking to be heard and learn how to hold them with more compassion. This is a practice you can come back to whenever you need to soften the tension and feel more connected to yourself. *This practice was created by Donny Epstein, creator of network spinal chiropractic and the 12 stages of healing* Support the show Connect with Rachel!

    262. A Mini Guided Practice for Feeling Stuck, Disconnected, or Hopeless

    Hello, hello! We're trying something new on the Owning Your Sexual Self podcast this week! It's my first minisode! This is a guided somatic practice called Somato Respiratory Integration, or SRI for short, designed to support you through feelings of hopelessness, shame, or disconnection. Using breath and three simple points on the body, you’ll learn how to identify where things feel open and where they feel stuck, and how to work with both through awareness and repetition. This is a practice you can return to whenever you need a reset or a way to feel more grounded in your body. *This practice was created by Donny Epstein, creator of network spinal chiropractic and the 12 stages of healing* Support the show Connect with Rachel!

Jocelyn is a sex and relationship coach who helps people break free from shame, reconnect with their desires, and step into a more honest and empowered relationship with themselves.
