Description:
Healing from sexual abuse and
sexual trauma can take many shapes and some of the most powerful tools for
recovery are grounded in sacred intimacy practices from around the world.
This workshop is a safe, very confidential
weekend in which you and your partner will learn Tantra (Eastern
sacred sexuality) basics, such as partnered breath and eye-gazing exercises, in
conjunction with Western sexological and psychotherapy methods, such as
ways to avoid turning a sexual speed-bump into a road block, and also sensate
focus methods. Blending both perspectives will help you to celebrate a much
safer, happier and healthier intimate, sexual life together. It may be taken
with a partner, friend, lover or anyone with whom the survivor feels safe.
Participants
will practice the techniques learned while remaining fully clothed. No direct
genital touch will occur during the workshop.
Both
days are dedicated to learning various techniques, while taking into
account the special needs and circumstances sexual abuse survivors and
their partners face — with special attention to emotional
concerns and how to support healing and well-being. Clinicians
and other helping professionals will also gain knowledge and
skills to help them support sexual abuse survivors and their partners. You can
immediately start using these methods with your own clients within proper
ethical and legal boundaries.
NOTE: While this workshop is for
survivors and those close to them. If the survivor or partner is a clinicians
and sexologist they may also earn 14 CE as the workshop will teach methods they
can use with their clients and meets the requirements of the American
Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists.
