Healing Sex: A Mind-Body Approach to Healing Sexual TraumaThe first encouraging, sex-positive guide for all women survivors of sexual assault -- heterosexual, bisexual, lesbian, coupled, and single -- who want to reclaim their sex lives. While most books on the topic broach sexuality only to reassure women that it is all right to say "no" to unwanted sex, Healing Sex encourages women to learn how to say "yes" -- to their own desires and on their own terms. This mind-body approach to healing from sexual trauma was created by Staci Haines, who has been educating in the area of sexual abuse, sex education, and somatic healing for over 15 years. Her techniques are ideal for anyone looking for a new way to heal from trauma, beyond traditional talk therapy. |

Often this is prevented by a lack of knowledge of the process and the social stigmas associated with this type of release. When, post trauma, allowing the psychobiological process isn't viable, people override it by contracting the body ...

Through these, we access the traumatic contractions, help them to soften, and support the psychobiological release. This in turn changes one's sense of one's self, who one is in relationship, and opens choices and new actions.
