Elif Cadoux's SSE Intake Form

“Somatic sex education can include coaching in breath, movement, body awareness, boundary-setting, communication, anatomy, sensate focus, massage, and other body-based teaching about sex. Somatic sex education is designed to nurture, deepen or awaken the sensual self.” - Caffyn Jesse, one of the incredible founders of SSE

SSE is a therapeutic modality that works with embodiment, pleasure, and resilience to expand eroticism in everyday life. 

 
SSE helps clients build their capacity to feel their own physical sensations and make decisions from an embodied place.

 
SSE practitioners guide clients in building a sense of nuanced consent, choice, and voice, leading to client-guided sessions. Your intentions and goals will guide this work. I am here to support your process of exploring those intentions and goals.  

 
Working with sensation and linked experiences of trauma, historical dispossession, and internalized supremacy is an integral part of SSE work. 

The SSE field grew out of the ingenuity, creativity, and resilience of sex workers, and continues to blossom due to their practice. 

SSE is regulated by a set of living ethics held by processes of peer support and accountability.

Please address only those questions that feel relevant to you right now.
We will have time to explore the rest in session.

I understand that somatic sex education is not psychotherapy or medical treatment. 

I understand that if I have requested bodywork, any erotic or genital touch will be given only at my request and solely for my own benefit, education and pleasure. I agree to guide the touch to ensure that it is always beneficial, educational, and pleasurable for me. 

I understand that during the course of sessions I might experience new or challenging feelings and experiences, and that exploring these through discussion and exercises may be suggested. I acknowledge that I have the option to consent and engage these suggestions—or decline—at any time. 

I agree to communicate scheduling changes with as much notice as possible. I understand that I will be charged a deposit when I book a session. Deposits will not be returned for sessions that are cancelled with less than 24 hours notice. 

With my electronic signature below, I acknowledge that I have read, understood, and agreed to the above statements.
