Healing Sex is based on Staci Haines’ best-selling book, The Survivor’s Guide to Sex (later reprinted as Healing Sex), about which Publishers Weekly wrote: “Staci Haines provides a powerful, open-minded guide to untangling sex from the effects of trauma and betrayal.”
Healing Sex, the DVD, tackles the same issues -- sexual abuse and sexual molestation -- with the positive healing approach that Haines specializes in.The film follows a diverse cast of women and men healing from past sexual abuse. Watch as they take the path to a more pleasurable and healthy sex life and struggle to find peace, healing and intimacy. Staci Haines draws on her vast experience as a workshop leader, author, somatic practitioner and educator to guide you toward the life you deserve.
You’ll learn:
- How to be present during sex
- How to experience pleasure and safety at the same time
- How to relearn boundaries, consent and mutual connection
- How to define your sexual pleasure based upon what you enjoy and desire, not on your past hurt
Healing Sex enables you to work out the normal, post-traumatic survival reactions -- fight, flight and freeze -- that may affect your ongoing sexual relationships. Mixing documentary-style drama with sex education and mind/body exercises, Healing Sex is a step-by-step guide to sexual healing.
2 hours of Extras include Spanish subtitles, somatic exercises, and more.
