## Resource

What if the way you’ve been approaching your sexuality has been keeping you stuck? In this second episode of a three-part series on befriending your sexuality, I explain why most strategies fail and how a shame-based internal operating system filters your experiences, preventing meaningful change. I share why treating sexual urges like something to eliminate or control keeps you trapped, and how recognizing and working with your sexuality instead of against it is essential. We explore the difference between shame and guilt, why a worthy-based operating system transforms how you show up in life, and how understanding these dynamics can change your relationship with yourself and others. You’ll learn why a shame-based operating system keeps you striving without satisfaction, how guilt and shame affect your choices and behaviors, and how a new live program can guide you to apply these principles step by step to build a healthier, more empowered relationship with your sexuality.
