What if the intimacy you long for isn’t missing—but gently blocked? In this episode of Pleasure Principles, hosted by Yusuf, we explore what it truly means to come back home to yourself.
This conversation is for anyone who feels disconnected in relationships, struggles with closeness, or senses there’s more beneath the surface. Kerisma Vere shares how trauma, self-worth, and nervous system patterns shape our ability to connect—and how healing begins with self-attunement, not performance.
