Uncovering the Roots of Sexuality Trauma / Part 1 of 4 modules

Uncovering the Roots of Sexuality Trauma

This first program is the foundation of the Full Embodiment practice. 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. Participants will develop a personalized, embodiment practice, set well-examined goals, and transform shame into celebrations of pleasure. Time will be spent uncovering biases, and settling triggers—which includes developing ease discussing sex and anatomy. 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. Well-regulated clients, colleagues, friends and partners are invited to participate in this program.

It is designed for anyone who desires a deep and lasting change. It supports therapists in working with sexuality trauma in their practices, however it is also appropriate for anyone interested in personal exploration. Clinicians, this is your chance to bring, or refer your friends, clients, colleagues and intimates.

We WILL NOT be working sexual trauma in any of the modules—the focus is on healing. Please only invite people who are regulated and low maintenance.

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 workshop will cover how to:

- Find ease, confidence and connection with your whole body
- Examine the messages than many are given about gender, the body and sexuality, and begin to access and embody more authentic beliefs and desires, underneath the conditioning
- Explore and heal the hidden social psychological and developmental influences that shape shame poor body image and disconnection from self and others
- Get comfortable talking about the body and sexuality with your clients and intimates
- Establish a strong somatic container and develop honest “embodied consent” through boundaries and learning how to voice preferences
- Identifying the unconscious “brakes” that thwart pleasure and desire
- Learn new ways of finding peace, pleasure and safety after sexual abuse or assault
