Uncovering the Roots of Sexuality Trauma—Part 1

Part 1 of a 4 part series leading to Somatic Sexuality Healing Practitioner Certificate

Who are we at our core?

If we were to remove all of the social conditioning, the religious, racial and cultural messages forced on us, all of the generations of sexism, misogyny and shame, all the judgments and expectations of family and peers, and all the traumas we have experienced:

• Who are we underneath all of it?

• How would we inhabit our bodies in ways that reflect our true nature?

• How would we express and receive affection, sensuality and sexuality… on our terms… in our most genuine and authentic way?

• How to achieve ease and pleasure in our own bodies, identify biases, and recognise discomfort with sexuality so that we can all be a clear and effective support to clients

• How do we uncover our desires and attractions, and identify what inhibits them? Are these real, or are these learned?

• What is the best way to break old patterns in relationships and move towards healthy intimacy?

• How do we heal specifically what is damaged by the above influences?

  This first module is the foundation of the Full Embodiment (FE) practice.

• Decades in its formation—FE combines the latest in somatic healing practices and trauma-informed sex education. Recognising the common dilemmas and challenges that practitioners face in their office, plus the countless ways people all over the world struggle with shame, disconnection to their bodies and sexuality, this program is especially designed for all people to find their way home to self, to pleasure and to greater intimacy..

   It examines the developmental imprints and other formative influences that sabotage an easeful, shame-free relationship with ourselves as sexual/sensual beings. We will slowly rebuild that which was scarred by generations of sexual oppression, misogyny and cultural and religious influences.

  Healing Strategies:

• Participants will develop a personalized, self-paced embodiment practice

• Time will be spent examining our relationship to sex and sexuality, and then developing new strategies and goals that more authentically express our true or ideal nature

• We’ll uncover biases and triggers both professionally and personally. The intention is to find ease when discussing sex and pelvic anatomy with clients and intimates.

• We’ll examine the messages we were given about gender and what it means to be male/female,..and learn to access and embody more authentic beliefs and desires, identities and expressions underneath the shame and conditioning.

• The focus of this module is on self-exploration and personal enhancement, however it will provide numerous useful strategies for therapists working with sexuality and trauma.

• There will be suggested readings, journaling, between module peer support and required group supervisions

  The focus is solely on HEALING….We will NOT be working sexual trauma in any workshop….

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN PERSONALLY:

• Get comfortable talking about the body and discussing sexuality issues with your clients and intimates.

• Become friendlier with your body, and inhabit it with new levels of comfort and awareness

WHO WILL BENEFIT

Professionals wishing to become more adept at being embodied and sexually more authentic. Clients, partners and non-SE professionals are also welcome to join. But they must be well-regulated and ready to step into the material. We will not have the staff to support high maintenance individuals.
