- Could you please talk a little about Tantra. What is it?
- Why is the topic of trauma in relationships so important?
- What do you define trauma as?

- How do you know if you've had a trauma if you don't remember it?
- How can you tell the difference between the freeze response and surrender?
- I've noticed that a lot of people with trauma/ complex trauma struggle to stay present. How does someone who has been trained to not be present, become present again, especially in sex?
