Seminar Description 

As professionals, we encounter and work with sexuality trauma in different ways. 

This seminar aims to provide information on how to work with sexual trauma from a Somatic Experiencing (SE) perspective.

From an SE perspective, sexual traumas can include the following issues: Body image issues, resisting being in one's own body, feeling shame about body and sexuality, sexual or gender identity issues, experiencing sexual incompatibility as a couple, having been sexually harassed/assaulted in adulthood or having experienced sexual trauma in childhood... In addition to these, traumas related to birth/pre-birth and social conditioning in line with gender roles can also be experienced as sexuality trauma. 

In this seminar, our trainer Ariel Giarretto, who specializes in Somatic Experiencing (SE) and sexuality trauma, will share with us information on how to work with sexuality traumas in line with the principles of SE approach. This seminar, which will also include new information and exercises in the field of Somatic Experiencing, aims to provide professionals with new and effective tools to best support people who have experienced sexuality trauma. 

What will we talk about in this seminar?

New ways to strengthen clients' boundaries, help them "find their voice" and express "embodied consent" in an intimate way 

Advanced strategies for working through sexual trauma without re-traumatizing and effective steps for recovery

Tools for working with shame in a variety of ways to help the client break out of the shame cycle

Supporting pleasure and relaxation even for people who are very resistant to reaching their own bodies

Helping clients who have had difficult experiences in the past to set clear recovery goals, gaining their consent to work with these sensitive issues and choosing together the most appropriate path to recovery

To be able to share current information in the field of sexual education with clients in order to normalize behaviors and break the cycle of shame 

Embodiment exercises to help clients who are triggered in their daily life cycle to find resources and balance, supporting regulation

On a Personal Level:
