You deserve to desire

​

Desire is not a luxury — it is a birthright.

And it is essential to consent.

You cannot truly consent without knowing what you want, what you don’t want, and what your body is communicating.

This workshop is a gentle, powerful space for survivors to reconnect with desire as a source of agency, safety, and aliveness.

​

This workshop covers:

• Sexual Fawning 

• Gentle somatic practices

• Pleasure micro‑practices

• Reclaiming desire through joy

​

About Sexual Fawning: 

Dr. Ingrid Clayton’s work shows that when someone has a history of sexual fawning — the nervous system learns to prioritize another person’s needs as a way to stay safe.  

Because of this, desire can become blurred or hard to locate internally.

This often looks like:

• Difficulty identifying what you want sexually

• Automatically tracking what your partner wants instead

• Feeling disconnected from your own cues, preferences, or boundaries

• Mistaking compliance or appeasement for desire

​

You can say "yes" when you do not mean it. In Clayton’s trauma framework, this confusion isn’t a flaw — it’s a survival adaptation. When your body has practiced appeasement, it can override authentic desire in favor of protection. Rebuilding desire means slowly relearning how to hear your own signals again, separate from anyone else’s expectations.

​

What to expect:

• Gentle grounding

• Trauma‑informed teaching

• Accessible somatic practices

• Space for questions

• Choice, pacing, and emotional safety throughout

• Learning how desire feels in the body 

 

This space is for you if:

• You’re healing from sexual assault

• You’re curious about consent, embodiment, and nervous‑system healing

• You want to feel more at home in your body​

 

Suggestions of what to bring:
