What does it mean to be "in search of Aphrodite?" For most women,
sex is complex, and more than a juxtaposition of body parts. Women
sense the possibility of depth, meaning, even transcendence, but in
a somatically disconnected, sexually superficial world, it can be
difficult for a woman to discover her inner fire, define who she is
sexually, and confidently communicate this to her partner. Part
philosophy, part treatment manual, In Search of Aphrodite addresses
women's sexual problems from an inspiring, creative perspective,
integrating Jungian Psychology and sex therapy. Readers will deepen
their understanding of the sexual psyche and how this realm impacts
women's lives, as well as what the author calls the journey of
Sexual IndividuationTM. Chelsea Wakefield covers a variety of
topics such as healing ancient wounds, resolving inner conflicts,
exploring sexual essence, identity, scripts, primal instinct,
desire, fantasy, longing, and more. She offers pathways to sexual
enrichment and improved communication with a partner. Sexual
archetypes are introduced and organized around the author's Sexual
Essence Wheel. Gatekeepers and Eros-inhibiting archetypes are
described, along with what to do when treatment stalls. This book
is appropriate for: * Clinicians who are nervous about venturing
into conversations about women's sexuality * Clinicians who are
comfortable with sexual topics and are curious about new
interventions * Sex therapists who want a treatment model that
acknowledges the multidimensional aspects of sexuality * Jungian
analysts and Jungian oriented practitioners who want helpful tools
for addressing sexual issues as an invitation into individuation *
Pastoral counselors and spiritual guidance practitioners who seek
to heal souls wounded by sexual trauma and sex-negative teachings *
Women who want to explore their sexual psyche and define their
sexual essence, and men who wish to better understand the sexual
depths of women. Rich with case histories and an "Inner Cast of
Characters" that clients can explore, this resource will help women
discover joyful embodiment, innate eroticism, and sexual pleasure!
