Rediscovering Sexuality in Sobriety with Stacie Ysidro

I believe that orgasmic energy is the life force, energy, and it flows through us and makes us alive, and so we can experience that in a lot of different ways on a day-to-day basis and different levels of intensity.
Ever wondered how to navigate your sexual self while on the journey to sobriety? In this episode of 'The Addicted Mind Podcast', Duane Osterlind sits down with sex coach and educator Stacie Ysidro to unpack the complexities of sexuality during recovery. Stacie has dedicated her career to helping people understand and heal their sexual lives without the crutch of substances.
With a deep passion for sexology and the spiritual aspects of sexuality, she offers a unique perspective on this often-taboo topic. Stacie shares her insights on how sex is frequently viewed through the lens of people-pleasing rather than self-honor. She emphasizes that without substances, individuals must confront their true sexual selves, which can be challenging, especially after trauma. This conversation dives into the vulnerability associated with sexuality and how it impacts our relationships and treatment programs.
One of the key tools Stacie uses is the Sexual Values System, which helps individuals reassess their sexual beliefs and behaviors. She also discusses the importance of releasing shame and practicing self-forgiveness as part of this healing journey. Additionally, Stacie touches on how mindfulness and Taoist practices can aid in this process, offering practical advice for those looking to reconnect with their sexuality in a healthy, fulfilling way.
If you're on a path to recovery and seeking to understand your sexual self better, this episode provides valuable insights and compassionate guidance.
