Consequences of NOT doing Sexual Shadow Work: My Manipulation Shadow STORYTIME!
In this candid and unfiltered episode, we’re diving into the consequences of avoiding sexual shadow work—what happens when we bury our shame, desires, and trauma instead of facing them head-on.
I use the example of my own manipulation shadow and talk about the costs of ignoring shadow work.
You might find this episode useful if:
You attract manipulative or unavailable partners
You struggle to express your desires authentically
You carry shame around your kinks, fantasies, or sexual identity
You're stuck in cycles of guilt, overgiving, or repression
This episode is for those who are ready to stop sleepwalking through their sex lives and start reclaiming their erotic power.
🌑 In this episode, we unpack:
The subtle ways manipulation shows up in sex and relationships
How childhood trauma shapes adult intimacy patterns
Why ignoring your sexual shadow leads to burnout and breakdowns
How BDSM and kink can be powerful tools for shadow integration
The difference between seduction and manipulation
Why your sexual energy is your life force—and what happens when we block it
