You've been in therapy. You can talk about your attachment style and you get why you shut down during sex. Knowing all of it hasn't stopped your body from doing the thing. I help people move from insight into embodied change when it comes to intimacy. We work with what your body is doing in real time; the protective parts, the cultural scripts, and the moments you intellectualize or override yourself to stay in connection with your partner. Typically, I work with
In practice that looks like me noticing when you start tracking your partner's reaction instead of staying connected to your own experience, and slowing it down. Asking what's happening in your body when you say you're "fine" and your shoulders are at your ears. Getting underneath the patterns you can already name but haven't been able to shift.
Your body learned to protect you, and its good at its job. Maybe too good. That protection doesn't just switch off because you read the right book or had a breakthrough in session. But we can work with it. Free 20-minute consultation if you want to see what that looks like.
