Abstract
ABSTRACTThis paper examines the intersection between the erotic, embodiment, and empowerment. It explores how the erotic and oppression live in the body by reviewing the literature and research from the fields of psychology, somatic psychology, as well as the theories of poets and activists. Sensory awareness of the erotic can transform oppression. A body-based lens for resisting, transforming, and developing resiliency in the face of oppression is critical for cultivating sensory awareness. Using Caldwell’s (1996) Moving Cycle, this paper explores ideation for how the erotic can be accessed, connected with, moved, and transformed using a somatic model for healing.
