In the Somatic Sex Educator's Handbook series, Christiane Pelmas brings forward wisdom gleaned through her decades of practice as a psychotherapist and clinical supervisor for psychotherapists and as a somatic sex educator, mentor and supervisor for other somatic sex educators. Christiane believes somatic sex educators are pioneering practitioners of a thing she has termed, a 'reclamation modality'; a modality that serves to emancipate individuals from the colonization and domestication that occurs at the hands of the dominant culture. Christiane sees the limits of scientifically/medically oriented psychology and psychotherapy - which talk about the body by talking to the mind, and which serve largely to assist people to function adaptively within a pathological culture. She envisions an evidence-based modality combining insight-oriented soul-focused guidance with whole-body touch. Within this vision, and in a short period of time, somatic sex education could become one of the most efficacious healing and wholing modalities of our time. That is if we, as practitioners, do our work to learn the skills necessary to creatively, professionally and ethically be with our clients as they make their journeys.
