Part 2 - Essential Strategies of Healing Sexual Trauma and Sexuality


Essential Strategies of Healing Sexual Trauma and Sexuality

Presented by Ariel Giarretto 

The Full Embodiment Model

Course Description:

All of us work with clients who have experienced sexual trauma as a child, sexual assault as adults, with couples who grapple with sexual incompatibilities, or people who struggle with debilitating shame, dissociation, flashbacks, sexual/gender identity, body image and just generally resist being in their bodies.

This workshop is designed to tackle just these issues, and is aimed at helping practitioners acquire a variety of new and effective tools to best serve these clients—even the toughest ones. Introducing material and exercises not covered in the Somatic Experiencing training.

Professional Content
