Sexual Numbness / Low Desire

Numb, resentful, tired, unsafe, disconnected, pressured.

• “My desire is gone because something is wrong with me.”
• “It is safer not to want.”
• “If I desire, I become vulnerable.”
• “My body has shut down for a reason.”
• “Pressure kills my desire.”
• “I cannot want someone I do not trust.”

Listening to numbness as information instead of attacking the body, blaming the partner, or forcing desire. Low desire may provide distance, protection, protest, shutdown, rest, or avoidance of unresolved resentment.

Ask, "What would my body say if my lack of desire had a message?"
