97 | Ariel Giarretto: All things sex & sexual fawning
Thursday, 29 October, 2026
In today’s episode of Your Own Medicine, I’m joined by Ariel Giarretto, a legendary senior Somatic Experiencing faculty member, somatic sex educator, and co-developer of the Full Embodiment Model. With decades of experience in sexual trauma healing and embodiment, Ariel brings an incredible depth of knowledge to one of the most misunderstood trauma responses: sexual fawning.We explore:What sexual fawning actually looks like in the bodyThe difference between arousal, desire, pleasure, and consentWhy you can sexually fawn even with a loving, safe partnerHow childhood experiences shape our relationship with sex and boundariesWhat it actually means to reconnect with your own desireIf you’ve ever struggled to know whether you genuinely wanted sex or simply wanted to be wanted, this conversation is for you.Ariel’s website: https://fullembodiment.org🎁 NOVEMBER SALE: ALL KALI SOMATICS COURSES ARE 50% OFF!For the entire month of November, all Kali Somatics courses are automatically discounted by 50%.
