Body Rites : A Holistic Healing and Embodiment Workbook for Black Survivors of Sexual Trauma
Other Available Formats
Overview
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.
