Moving Beyond Safety: Solidarity, Mutual Entanglement, and Erotic Embodiment
Many of us may want desperately to explore erotic embodiment and have mind-blowing sexual/sensual/kink experiences, but actually doing so can feel tremendously edgy and risky—particularly given that most of us hold various forms of trauma in our bodies.
How can clients learn to turn toward these transformative experiences, even the face of risk and discomfort. Conventional wisdom is to work to first help a client establish an internal sense of safety in the body or within one’s system. This interactive, two-hour workshop departs from this conventional wisdom to problematize the discourse of...Read more safety and propose solidarity as a risk-attuned alternative. Feeling a keen sense of solidarity—whether with providers or with partners or within our systems—and honoring of our neurobiological defenses allows for the transformative and pleasure-soaked experiences of erotic embodiment we and our clients so deeply yearn for.
