Embrace: A Podcast for Survivors by Survivors about Sex and Intimacy

In 2019 BRISSC ran a 7-week support group on sex and intimacy for survivors, blending feminist and somatic theory and practices. At the end of the group, participants felt passionate about sharing their process, learnings and reflections with a wider audience - and the idea of a podcast was born. Each podcast topic is split into two parts - a discussion between survivors about topics relevant to sex and intimacy after trauma, and a somatic 'practice' - which support listeners to embody the concepts from the discussion.

Episode 2: Somatic Processes & Embodied Safety

Episode 2 of Embrace is an honest discussion between Kavita (she / her), Dae (they / them) and Susan (she / her) exploring their experiences of somatic processes and how they achieve embodied safety in the context of everyday life.

This discussion offers insights and learnings that Kavita and Dae discovered as survivors of sexual violence, on their journeys to reconnect and feel safe in their bodies after trauma. These reflections offer an important starting point for anyone seeking to rebuild their capacity to feel their body and heal their relationship with sex and pleasure.
