About this title

Synopsis

A written companion and workbook for readers seeking to reclaim their bodies as home in healing from sexual trauma.

Body rites as a holistic healing journey, anchored in the practice of decolonizing healing and reclaiming body sovereignty, reaches back into indigenous roots and land-based healing. It centers remembering as a means of survival.

This workbook is the first of its kind: a resource of rituals divided into four healing journeys for Black women, femmes, and nonbinary survivors of sexual assault. The experiential workbook moves beyond prescriptive self-help models by providing a gentle guide and liaison to explore the impact of sexual trauma on the mind, body, heart, and spirit. It is an invitation to heal holistically, drawing upon:

psychophysiology
lived body wisdom
trauma-informed embodiment practices
kinship and ancestral connections
African spiritual practices

Most urgently, this book is a series of intimate conversations with your “self”; and remembrance that healing lives at the core of your intuition.

40 figures, 17 full-color icon illustrations
