Sex, Sexuality & Pleasure After Trauma

The results may appear suddenly or they may appear over time. This event will speak to where trauma can manifest within our bodies, our actions and how that may affect us in the bedroom. We will talk about how to reclaim bodily agency and how to reconnect to your sexuality - which isn’t just about sex. We will look at our entire bodies and beings.

Jimanekia Eborn, host of podcast Trauma Queen, sex educator specialising in sexual trauma support and supporting survivors, spoke to some of the wide-ranging effects of trauma, and importantly, the tools and exercises that support healing and a reconnection with your sexuality.

Mardi Kennedy, of The Rainbow Project, facilitated this conversation, weaving in questions and queries from audiences.
