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 sexual identity, body image and just generally resist being in their bodies.
This workshop is designed to tackle just these issues, and aimed at helping practitioners acquire a variety of new and effective tools to best serve these clients—even the toughest ones. Introducing material not covered in the SE training.

What participants say about the workshop:
“Ariel and Tom’s course for SEPs offers brilliant interventions for supporting survivors of sexual assault. The space they create is safe, welcoming, choiceful, permissive, and gently playful. The experiential components provide powerful tools for recognizing when and how practitioner's own moralizing beliefs and sexual stories diminish our capacities to hold open, accepting space for our clients. They teach concrete, non-invasive tools for exploration with survivor clients; these tools sustainably cultivate safe, affirming and yet sensuous, intimate connection with self. I appreciate that I was immediately able to integrate these tools into my practice with real ease, which I attribute to Ariel and Tom’s skillful translation of their material. And I'm amazed by the ripple effects of this weekend experience: for me the theme of this workshop was radically compassionate self-acceptance of one's sexuality.” K. F. SEP, Somatic Therapist & Anthropologist
“Thank you so much for offering this workshop. This is my second workshop in three years with Ariel and Tom. I notice after each weekend that I am more comfortable being in my own body, and way more comfortable talking to clients about their sexual experience, desire, inhibition and embodiment. Sexual Trauma Healing provided me with information, insight and exercises that immediately helped me to work with some of my most challenging clients with more ease and confidence, especially in gently challenging rather than colluding with their discomfort and shame. Sandy, SEP/MFT Associate
