This workshop is aimed to look at how we can support Survivors in their journeys towards having a healthy relationship with their sexuality after the trauma of experiencing sexual abuse.
We will be looking at sexual ambivalence, the confusion around pleasure, tackling triggers, and working towards a healthy sex model. We will also be looking in a gentle way at our own early learnings around sex and what we might want to hold onto and what we might want to let go of.
