Previously, we explored somatic therapy through the lens of pleasure and embodiment, revealing how the body can hold wisdom about our experiences. Many gay men carry tension, stress, and internalized shame from years of hypervigilance and navigating societal pressures, which can quietly shape how they move, feel, and relate to themselves.
In this episode, Sean Hershey, a somatic therapist, joins us to share how somatic therapy can help gay men release these patterns, calm the nervous system, and reclaim a sense of presence and freedom in their bodies.
