Wednesday, February 9th 5pm – 6:30pm | Zoom
Join OCRCC in welcoming Dani Leah Strauss, LCSWA to host this incredible workshop where we will begin to discuss the journey of coming back to sex and intimacy and self-support after harm. Topics to be explored include:
*How trauma teaches us to turn off our senses to stay safe – the process of turning the lights back on, slowly, with care
*Spectrum of pleasure – exploring practices outside of sex that offer us chances to feel good
*Comparison & rules as self-injury – how we make peace with the diversity of sexual experiences, how we understand and support our new bodies/brains after trauma
*Support as a lifeline – where to go for help, the importance of talking to survivors and people with shared experiences, books/scholars that can keep us company
*Communication – developing a trauma-informed language with ourselves and our partners
*Bite-size embodiment practices – ways to begin feeling again
