Sex Birth Trauma with Kimberly Ann Johnson


Feb 6, 2018

Ellen and Kimberly Share:

  • The inside scoop on Exiting the Shame Matrix course and why comes first in STREAM training
  • Lots of great information about the four domains of pelvic health: the biochemical pelvis, the biomechanical pelvis, the all important scar tissue domain, and the emotional pelvis
  • Most importantly, what the shame matrix is, how it affects access to life as a whole, and why freeing yourself from it is *essential* before helping others with their sexuality
  • Your right to self pleasure and thoughts on radical sexual autonomy and patriarchal culture
  • All about the next Radical Bodywork module and reclaiming the erotic as love of life
  • The differences between touching from eros and giving erotic massage and all the things that come up in pelvic touchwork from arousal to longing to transference
  • The role of assessment in navigating boundaries and connected relational exchange
  • STREAM training news and how to get involved if working with sexuality is your calling
