The Art of Receiving After Trauma

Service Description

There’s a moment in healing where you realize — it’s not just about releasing pain, but about learning how to receive again. Love. Pleasure. Safety. Connection. Without fear, control, or shutdown. This group is deeply personal to me because my journey has mirrored many of yours. After experiencing childhood sexual trauma, I unknowingly shaped my relationship with intimacy around power and control — using sex as a way to feel worthy, in control, and validated. But the more I reached for power, the more disconnected I became from my ability to truly receive. Receiving after trauma is an art. It’s learning how to soften when the body wants to armor. It’s unlearning the belief that giving means control and receiving means weakness. It’s about unwinding the stories we’ve told ourselves: “If I give more, I’ll be loved more” or “If I control it, I can’t get hurt.” This space is for those ready to reclaim their power in softness — to open, to receive, to be loved without performing or manipulating. We’ll explore:     •    Breaking patterns of using sex as power and instead embodying sensuality as a gift.     •    Rewiring the nervous system to feel safe in receiving love, touch, and connection again.     •    Healing the inner child who learned that love was something to be earned, not received.     •    Releasing shame and control and stepping into a new experience of intimacy — rooted in softness, not defense. My mission is to guide you back to your own power — not in control, but in true receptivity. Because you deserve love, softness, and pleasure without armor. And the world is waiting for you to remember that.
