People are assemblages of experiences that determine health and unhealth, including intergenerational trauma and displacement. These legacies can make themselves felt in all somatic work, including engagement with erotic feeling.

Each person we encounter is an accumulation of social, physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, financial, and environmental health. They also hold their ancestors’ experiences. Difficulty being in our bodies (even with a desire to feel embodied) or accessing the erotic can come from physical or nonphysical causes. It can look like individual, collective, and/or ancestral trauma.
