As the concept of being “trauma-informed” gains more traction in the field of sexology, it’s important to understand what it means for a practitioner or modality to legitimately be trauma-informed AND, what the difference is between being a trauma-informed practitioner and being a trauma therapist.

In this episode of Sex Is Medicine, Devi Ward Erickson speaks with Certified Authentic Tantra Practitioners, Certified Sexologists, and licensed therapists, Kenny Beaupre and Mark Barone to clarify what it means to be “trauma-informed” in the field of sexology, and what to reasonably expect from practitioners who claim that orientation.
IATE Co-Founder, Marci Weinstein also joins the discussion to shed light on how the Authentic Tantra modality showcases a trauma-informed approach to the practice of Tibetan 5 Element Tantra.
