Recovery and Sexuality: Embracing Intimacy and Breaking Taboos

Humans are actually sexual beings from conception until death. It's just that we don't know how to talk about it.
How often do we talk about the intersection of recovery and sexuality? In this episode of 'This is What Recovery Looks Like', Phil Rutherford sits down with Stacie Ysidro, a seasoned sex coach and founder of Holistic Progressions, to tackle this often-ignored yet vital topic. Stacie brings over a decade of experience to the table, offering a fresh perspective on how intimacy plays a crucial role in the recovery journey.
From the get-go, she emphasizes that humans are inherently sexual beings from birth to death, and it's high time we normalize conversations around this reality. Stacie introduces listeners to the concept of erotic blueprints, a unique framework for understanding arousal and pleasure. This episode isn’t just about the physical aspects of intimacy; it dives deep into emotional and spiritual connections as well. One of the standout points Stacie makes is the importance of open communication and boundary-setting in relationships.
She advocates for getting out of our heads and into our bodies, suggesting that true intimacy can significantly enhance the recovery process. The conversation is candid and non-judgmental, providing valuable insights and practical advice for anyone looking to explore their sexuality within the context of recovery. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a compassionate and enlightening discussion that aims to break down stigmas and encourage open dialogue.
Tune in to discover how embracing your sexuality can be a transformative part of your recovery journey.
