Excavation Sexual History: Your Personal Journey
First, the present is informed by the past. Many of us have found that the past has taught us values and beliefs that are no longer current or true for us today.
One of the ways to come current with the present is to review the past.
The sexual history practice is a self discovery process for YOU. I have often revisited this at different phases of my journey as new things arise and I have different memories and experiences. Therefore this is a practice.
To get the most out of this exercise.
- Confirm that you are in a safe, comfortable grounded space.
- I recommend setting a timer for a specific amount of time and/or completing it in multiple settings.
- Encourage yourself to get out in nature. Take a break. Do something creative before & after journaling.
- Get support from your coach or support person if you find the process to be triggering.
- Journal about how you felt about the process of writing your history
- Know that you can always destroy the writing if: you don't want anyone to read it or as a declaration of you coming current into the present and accepting your past.
