The Healing Power of Pleasure: Somatic Awareness, Relational Repair, and Mindfulness Strategies to Support Long-Term Trauma Recovery in Women

Featuring Tammy Nelson, PhD | Click here for information about Tammy Nelson

Clinicians today are witnessing unprecedented levels of trauma among women and, for many, the invisible disconnection from pleasure can be just as harmful as symptoms like flashbacks and hypervigilance.

And while your women clients may not even think to bring up the loss of their sensuality, ongoing disconnection from it serves as a barrier to their recovery.

In this session, Dr. Tammy Nelson – sought-after sex and relationship expert and author of several books, including the acclaimed Integrative Sex & Couples Therapy: A Therapist’s Guide to New and Innovative Approaches – will show you how pleasure can override traumatic memories and help heal the brain.

You’ll learn:

• Tools to recognize pleasure denial and avoidance as trauma responses that perpetuate disconnection

• Somatic and relational strategies for rebuilding pleasure capacity so your clients can reclaim body joy

• How to create empowering spaces for women to rediscover self-trust, confidence, and agency

For too long, training ignored the realities of women’s lives—the social conditioning, the hormones, the violence, the invisible labor.

And while more women are finding their voice, the work isn’t done. They’re still fighting to be taken seriously—to have their pain believed, their boundaries respected, and their needs prioritized in homes, workplaces, and therapy rooms.

At the Women’s Mental Health Summit, you’ll get the tools to change that.

With today's in-demand, groundbreaking speakers, you’ll explore the full spectrum of women’s mental health—through trauma-informed, somatic, neurobiological, and feminist frameworksthat center women’s lived experience.

Featuring top voices in the field like:

• Judith Lewis Herman — Challenge gendered power dynamics through relational, trauma-informed care

• Nedra Glover Tawwab — Release perfectionism and embrace interdependence with boundaries

• Sarah Hill — Integrate hormonal and neurobiological factors into mood and identity treatment

• Ann Saffi Biasetti — Apply somatic and compassion-focused tools for body image and self-trust

You’ll get the latest clinical tools for the realities too often left out of training – like intimate partner violence, gaslighting, sexual trauma and shame, self-abandonment, and much more…

And walk away with evidence-based interventions drawn from ACT, DBT, CBT, MI, and more—designed to help women reclaim voice, power, and belonging in therapy and in life.

Therapy for women must be built on women’s lived experience.
