As a professional sexologist, I apply what I know about the human limbic system (our powerful dopamine center) to help organizations thrive. Everyday pleasure, rather than sexual pleasure, is the focus.

Learning about the profound wellness benefits of everyday pleasure is something I call Pleasure Literacy.

​

Pleasure Literacy helps us avoid burnout by giving us needed breaks from the anxiety and demands of our daily lives. It reduces stress by triggering the release of dopamine, the "feel good" hormone. It also stimulates oxytocin, promoting relaxation and a sense of calm. These emotional buffers strengthen our resilience, enabling us to bounce back more quickly from setbacks, even in the face of adversity.

By intentionally engaging in pleasurable activities, and by reframing experiences to notice delight, we build a reservoir of positive emotions that we can draw upon during challenging times.
