Why Doesn’t Sex Turn Me on? Nervous System level Safety
Kris Hall shares that In this episode of I’ll Have What She’s Having, ‘I’m joined by nervous system healing and expansion coach Catherine Hale to unpack one of the most common — and misunderstood — questions women ask about their sex lives.’
If you’ve ever felt:
Low desire or inconsistent libido
Disconnected or numb during sex
Like you should want sex but don’t
Afraid that something is wrong with you
Confused about why arousal feels hard to access
Today we explore how your nervous system directly impacts desire, arousal, orgasm, and pleasure — and why so many women struggle with sex not because they’re bad at it, broken, or “doing it wrong,” but because their bodies don’t feel safe enough to open.
You’ll learn:
Why desire doesn’t respond to pressure or performance
How stress, trauma, and people-pleasing shut down turn-on
Why feeling “normal” in your sex life starts with regulation, not comparison
How safety, presence, and self-trust create better sex
What it actually means to feel at home in your body — and why that matters for pleasure
