Join us for an intimate conversation with Lavinia, an architect who's turning into a sexuality and conscious kink facilitator, as we explore the transformative journey from trauma to empowerment.
In this episode, we dive into our shared experience of childhood sexual abuse and how it has shaped our paths towards healing and personal growth.
Lavinia opens up about her personal story of reclaiming her power after being abused at age 12. We discuss the confusion, shame, and isolation that followed, and how group healing experiences have been transformative in her recovery process. As we explore our parallel journeys, we reflect on the power of finding connection through shared wounds and the importance of breaking the silence surrounding childhood trauma.
We discuss:
- The surprising connection between chronic migraines and emotional suppression
- How conscious kink practices have become a tool for processing anger and expanding capacity for pleasure
- The power of finding your voice to say "no" in recreated scenarios
- The realization that our bodies are actually strong and capable of defending themselves
Lavinia shares a powerful moment from a Sacred Desire Playground where she finally found her voice, describing it as "a huge burden lifted off my shoulders." We also touch on her journey with chronic pain and how impact play has surprisingly increased her ability to manage physical discomfort.
This conversation gets real about the messiness of healing, the power of group support, and how embracing our darkness can lead to unexpected liberation.
