Trauma doesn’t need to hold us back from what we truly
want. Healing is available. There are pathways, practices and principles that
you can learn to help you and others cultivate more pleasure, intimacy and
connection in your sex and love lives.
The reality that trauma has deeply impacted our
experience of our sexual and intimate relationships has risen to the surface of
our collective awareness through the #metoo movement.
·
At least 70% of adults have been affected by
trauma in the United States, alone.
·
One in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys will be sexually
assaulted by the age of 18.
·
Nearly 1 in 4 women may experience sexual
violence by an intimate partner in their lifetime.
As we begin to move beyond the understandable phases of
shame and blame, new questions arise. How can we heal? What can we do to tend
to the wounds and move towards more of what we all deeply want?
How do we as lovers, healers and seekers integrate the
reality of trauma in a way that beautifully transforms our sexual and intimate
relationships? What tools and skills will help us invite more of what we all
want: pleasure, love, intimacy, connection and trust.
