In this episode of I AM HUMAN, sexuality researcher Kaamna Bhojwani discusses the complex interplay between sexuality and shame and how we can shed the shame and guilt to embrace a new self-identity. She also teaches us why it's important to open conversations about sex and sexuality with our children early as well as why we should expect that sex and sexuality will evolve over the course of a long-term relationship.
Kaamna Bhojwani is a preeminent researcher in the field of sexuality, with a particular focus on the complex interplay between shame, spirituality, and self-identity. Through a range of services, including one-on-one consultations, intimate group workshops, and impactful public events, Kaamna empowers individuals to shed the shackles of sexual shame and guilt, ultimately facilitating the embrace of a liberating and authentic sexual self. Kaamna’s expertise is a confluence of rigorous academic achievement (Master's degrees in Spiritual Psychology from Columbia University and Organizational Psychology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Bachelor's degree in Clinical Psychology from Smith College) and a profound empathy for the human condition. This unique blend allows her to navigate the complexities of human sexuality with both intellectual depth and unwavering compassion.
