Sexual trauma can set off body hatred and create a distancing from the body, particularly the sexual body, in order to feel safe again. In this session, we’ll explore sociocultural and neurobiological factors affecting clients’ relationships with their bodies after sexual trauma. Working to reduce shame and self-blame, we will develop tools for assisting clients with befriending their sexual bodies. You will learn powerful interventions including cognitive reframing of the context while adding somatic experiencing and sensorimotor tools for healing the body, as well as relational and social strategies for practising safe intimacy again.
