Where Do I Want To Go?

The modality of Somatic Sex Education is a client directed one. This means that as a Somatic Sex Educator I believe that you are the wisdom holder. You are the one that decides where we need to go.

Embodying a client directed practice has been a deep re-learning for me as someone who has had so many experiences of authorities, professionals and ‘experts’ not listening to me or doing thing that I feel are deeply not okay. As a facilitator, I certainly arrive with tools, education, and professional training for the purposes of ensuring I can be a resourcing and helpful ally in my clients’ journeys - however, it is certainly *not* up to me to be calling the shots on how that journey unfolds!

Moving at the speed of trust, and following the client’s internal compass about what would be best for us to be addressing can be in and of itself a healing and wholing experience, restoring perhaps years of unwanted experiences in relationships, doctors offices, workplaces, and more.

In my practice I always begin my work with a new client by inviting them to explore the questions from earlier in this post: “Where do I wish to go?” “What are my goals?” - from this point we can begin to learn about the map we’re looking at together, and start understanding our path.

And, it’s always a beautiful path!
