If you’ve ever felt confused by your own desire — or wondered why it suddenly disappears — you’re not weird, and you’re definitely not alone.
Hypersexuality and sexual repulsion might look like complete opposites, but they can come from the same place: your brain trying to protect you.

In this video, we talk about how trauma can shape the way you experience intimacy, want it, avoid it, or switch between both. These reactions aren’t about shame, being “too much,” or not being “normal.”
They’re survival responses — the kind your brain learned during moments when it didn’t feel safe.
