Had such a beautiful time attending and presenting at the AASECT conference!!!! Sharing a pleasure embodiment and pleasure activism-based trauma healing model with providers, therapists, and educators was such an honor. The culmination of my work in pleasure activism, pleasure-based healing, somatics, s*x therapy, and expanded healing states. Yum, just yum.
I got to be with incredible colleagues like Brian Gibney (also presented!) and fellow SEP Cassandra Rustvold (also presented this year!), and one of my beloved mentors, Tina Schermer-Sellers! And met sooo many amazing advocates for justice, power, and clarity in the field of s*xology. The presentations ranged from ADHD/Neurodiversity, Aging, Endometriosis, Pelvic pain, OCSB, gender politics, research rebellion,...wow.
Thank you AASECT Board also for awarding me the Schiller Prize for my abstract and presentation. And for everyone who came to the 3-hour intensive, YOU ROCK, thanks for receiving me.
Loved soaking up all the knowledge and good energy over the weekend. Cheers, AASECT family! 🥂
