Episode 23: Let's Talk About Sex Bay-bee (feat. Merril Doty) The Violet Vulture
-
- Personal Journals
Welcome to The Violet Vulture!
In this episode, we've got a super special guest on the podcast, Merril Doty of Consensual Counseling. Merril is committed to providing sex/relationship counseling, sex education, and other healing services with thoughtfulness, empathy, and candor.
In this episode, we'll get into the following and then some:
The series of events that inspired Merril to pursue becoming a sex educator and how her trauma-informed training as a yoga instructor gave her a solid foundation for the work she’s committed to now
I get very open and honest about something that has even impacted me - and we offer some validation to others who might be going through similar experiences (e.g., it shouldn’t hurt - unless you want it to)
We get into our gut healing and pelvic floor health journeys and how they intersect with finding a new sense of security in our bodies
Merril and I offer insight into how to relearn how to trust your body after feeling dysfunctional or encountering a big or little T-trauma
And then we dive into the Q+ A! We got so many questions, but a major throughline with them is confronting shame, unlearning what was instilled in us as children about desire, and the importance of communication and honesty with oneself and one's partner (or partners!)
If you're overdue for a little sex education refresher, this one is for you.
