Self-knowledge

Self-knowledge

What is self-awareness? It is the ability we develop to connect with ourselves, our needs, our preferences, our desires, our feelings, our thoughts and our actions.

We are not born with self-knowledge, but as we grow up we discover ourselves and we can work on knowing ourselves better and better.

Self-knowledge is closely related to sexuality, as it encompasses many parts of our life experience, such as our gender identity and expression, our sexual orientation, our intimacy, our fantasies, our desires, our pleasures and our limits, among many other issues.

Self-knowledge of our sexuality helps us to live it in a more positive and pleasurable way, as well as to build and maintain healthier relationships, as it provides us with tools to express our needs and desires, to communicate and to set our limits.
