THE SENSORIMOTOR PSYCHOTHERAPY INSTITUTE
“INTIMACY AND SEXUAL ABUSE; EXPLORING RELATIONSHIPS AND SEXUALITY IN THE WAKE OF TRAUMA”

Abstract

Trauma leaves one in a shattered and reactive state that carries the defensive reactions of the traumatic past into current relationships.  Intimacy necessitates the capacity to differentiate from one’s past reactive patterns and get present in the here and now.  How can these two realities be integrated?

In this workshop we explore how Sensorimotor (body) processing facilitates moving through trauma and toward differentiation and intimacy.
