Description:
In this presentation you will learn how to apply mindfulness-based techniques to help clients connect with their emotions, pleasure, their sense of boundaries, and how to move through triggers with less dissociation. Molly will help you feel more comfortable using language of anatomy and sexual intimacy, introduce body-based mindfulness practices for use in session and for clients to use at home, and help you guide clients in understanding their trauma response and bring self compassion to their trauma healing. This training will offer concrete brief experiential exercises you can practice with clients in person or via telehealth. Even if folx feel disconnected from themselves, their body, or eroticism, the senses can help bring them back.
