In this post, you’ll find an overview of Somatic Sex Education, Coaching, and Counseling Treatment Providers in Seattle and the surrounding metropolitan area, Washington.
Somatic Sex Education and Coaching can be defined as an embodied practice, one that approaches Sexology and Sex Coaching from a more holistic viewpoint, trying to bridge the body-mind dichotomy to support people in overcoming difficulties in their sex lives, and again finding joy and pleasure in life and in relationships.
The realms embarked on within Somatic Sex Education depend primarily on the problems or needs of a client (or clients i.e. partners), which may include physical aspects of sexuality and lovemaking, intimacy and relationship issues, sexual anatomy, masturbation, spirituality, safe sex, consent and boundaries, trauma release and sexual healing, gender issues, and/or specific sexual dysfunctions or disorders, among other topics.
Although these topics are also addressed in mainstream Sexology and/or Sex Therapy, Somatic Sex Education and Coaching sessions don’t only involve “talking” about mental and psychological inner processes, but are also focused on bodily sensations and hands-on experiences. In fact, the Somatic Sex Educator (i.e. Somatic Sex Therapist) will try to bring mind, emotions, and body into renewed connection, intimacy, communication, and balance.
The Somatic Sex Coach or Somatic Sex Counselor may use methods and techniques borrowed from a range of disciplines such as Sex Therapy, Psychotherapy, Tantric and Taoist practices, and Somatics to achieve this goal with their clients. Think, for instance, of talk therapy, physical and mental exercises, simulations, touch, sexual de-armoring, massage therapy, pelvic release work, visualizations, breathwork, or dance and movement.
Depending on the issue at hand, Somatic Sex Coaching sessions can be given live in-person or online, spoken, written, or through video, in a private or in a group setting, organized in the form of retreats or workshops, and they may include just one or multiple sessions; the options are rather diverse.
In any case, below then our overview of Somatic Sex Educators, Coaches, and Counselors in the Seattle area.
