Foundations: Somatic Experiencing 101

In this module we introduce you to the key concepts of Somatic Experiencing, a trauma modality developed by Peter Levine and widely used for trauma resolution and to treat PTSD.  You will learn some basic somatic skills and techniques to help you regulate your own nervous system and   track and resolve your body’s reactions to stress and trauma triggers.  These exercises and skills form the foundation for the somatic work we will be doing throughout the rest of the course. 

Module 1

You Are Not Broken:

It is completely normal for your sexual desire to ebb and flow and even disappear, especially if you are in a long term relationship. In this module we will examine the reasons why women lose their desire for sex and how hormones play a role in your sexual desire. Since this is a trauma informed program, you will also be supported in understanding how trauma specifically has impacted your desire for sex.

Module 2

Understanding Your Sexual Blueprint:

Your adult relationship to sex is absolutely impacted by the messages you received as a young girl/teenager, the trauma and your early sexual experiences. By understanding your unique sexual blueprint, you will then be able to identify limiting beliefs, remove blocks and reshape your relationship with sex and intimacy.

Module 3

Banishing Your Sexual Shame:

Shame is the nastiest five letter word in the universe and shows up in all aspects of our life. But it does not have to control your actions or continue to have power over your sex life. In this module you will learn some very simple but powerful techniques that will help you banish your sexual shame.

Module 4

The Emotions of Desire:

As a woman, you need to feel connected with your emotions in order to experience desire. If you are walking around feeling numb, angry, or resentful, you will also feel sexually shut down. In this module you will learn some tools to process negative emotions in your body and learn how to connect with the emotions that will ignite your desire.

Module 5

Anxious, Avoidant or Secure?

Your attachment style has a direct impact on your relationship with intimacy. Understanding your attachment style, as well as a partner’s, will help you navigate conflicts in intimate relationships, sow the seeds for rekindling desire.

Module 6

Loving Yourself and Your Body, Warts and All:

Loving and accepting your-ever changing body is central to reigniting your desire. You need to feel and believe that you are desirable and sexy. In this module, you will meet your new best friend and challenge the negative social conditioning you’ve received about your body.

Module 7

Awakening Your Senses:

Body awareness and awakening your body is the key to re-connecting with your desire, since arousal starts inside. This concept is central to reigniting your sex life and most women live in their heads and not in their bodies. In this module you will learn a series of gentle but powerful practices to help you awaken your body, connect with all five of your senses, and bring more sensuality into your life.

Module 8

Connect with Your Root:

Your pelvic bowl (the Root) is the center of your power and creativity but most women are disconnected from it. In this module, you gently start to come into communication with your root power through body awareness and a meditation that will transform your relationship with your sexual epicenter. You will be amazed at what your body has to say about helping you reconnect with your desire!

Module 9

Your Erotic Nature:

Desire flows from eroticism, at least as much as it might flow from love. In this module you will learn about your erotic nature through exploring your fantasies, desires and the emotions that you want out of sex. Understanding your erotic nature, and then incorporating that into your lovemaking, will completely transform your sex life.
