**This Session**
In this gentle yet powerful session, somatics expert and intimacy educator Kai Cheng Thom will offer participants transformative frameworks and practices that unlock the potential of pleasure and joy for trauma healing. Drawn from the lineage of somatic intimacy coaching and somatic sex education, this work is grounded in embodied consent and nervous system science.
Participants will leave with a somatically grounded understanding of how pleasure and healing are intrinsically connected, as well as techniques that can be immediately applied for growing empowered choice and voice, de-shaming pleasure, and cultivating joy in their own lives and in work with trauma recovery clients.
We value and appreciate your feedback on this session! Please share your thoughts with us here: https://forms.gle/iPXUGLnmtdrYd2sNA
