Intimacy doesn’t disappear—it gets buried beneath stress, shame, trauma, and the survival strategies our bodies once needed. In this meditation-inspired blog, therapist Raquel Perez guides you through rebuilding emotional safety, reconnecting with your desire, and welcoming back the parts of you that learned to hide. This is a gentle, trauma-informed path toward healing intimacy, pleasure, and self-connection.

In this deeply personal reflection, Colorado therapist Raquel Perez explores the emotional, relational, and embodied experience of coming out — including healing shame, creating emotional safety, unlearning old beliefs, and finding supportive community. A grounding, trauma-informed perspective for anyone navigating LGBTQ+ identity and self-discovery.

Coming out isn’t just one moment — it’s a journey of returning to yourself. This guided meditation helps you slow down, create safety in your body, and explore what your coming out story might look like when written from truth, not fear.
