Sustaining Healing: Building a Life of Pleasure & Connection

How do you sustain healing and keep growing after trauma? How can pleasure become an everyday part of your life?

Healing isn’t a single event—it’s an ongoing journey of learning, growth, and self-discovery.

In this final class, we’ll integrate everything covered in the series, revisiting key concepts from brain science and nervous system regulation to somatic healing, attachment styles, communication, and pleasure.

We’ll revisit the foundations of understanding trauma (Class 1), reconnecting with your body (Class 2), healing within relationships (Class 3), and rediscovering pleasure (Class 4). Through guided reflection, you’ll explore your progress, identify what brings you joy, and develop rituals that support self-compassion, relaxation, and pleasure in your daily life.

We’ll also discuss how to cultivate resilience, maintain intimacy in relationships, and create a personalized roadmap for sustaining healing and pleasure long-term. This class is about celebrating how far you’ve come and giving you the tools to continue your journey with confidence.

What you’ll gain from this class:

• A comprehensive review of trauma healing and pleasure-building techniques.
• Strategies for sustaining growth and integrating pleasure into daily life.
• A personalized plan for ongoing healing and self-discovery.

Note: This is the last class in the “Moving Through Trauma to Achieve Pleasure in Sex, Relationships, and Life” 5-class series. Each class is useful on its own, but together they create a transformative path to healing and growth. Attend a la carte or register for all five to receive a discounted rate.
