Healing Sex; A Mind-Body Approach to Healing Sexual Trauma

Healing Sex; A Mind-Body Approach to Healing Sexual Trauma

by Staci Haines

Healing Sex is a gentle, encouraging, sex-positive guide for women survivors of sexual assault who want to claim, and delight, in their own sexuality. Healing Sex encourages women to learn how to say “yes” to their own desires and on their own terms. Author Staci Haines specializes in the field of somatics, the mind/body integrative approach to healing from trauma.

This incredible book includes topics:

-Pleasure and Desire – Discover and fully own your own desires on your own terms.

-Dissociation – Discover how you “checked out” to survive and how you can “check-in” now for healing and your own sexual expression.

-Embodied Sex – Learn how to be in your body during sex.

-Consent and Boundaries – The “yes,” “no,” and “maybe” of sex.

-Triggers – Practical tools for healing through triggers while enjoying the delights and complexities of a full-embodied sex life.

-Emotional Healing and Intimacy – Don't settle for less than you want. Grant yourself permission to cultivate pleasure, sexual delight, and love.

A Fairy Godmother note about Healing Sex: Having never experienced sexual trauma, I can only imagine the courage and effort it takes to heal from it but this book is so well-written and inviting to read. Others like it have struck me as quite clinical but Healing Sex is written with love and understanding in a way that I think most survivors will resonate with and appreciate.
