"Liberating Desire" is a compassionate and transformative guide for survivors of sexual trauma who are seeking to reclaim their bodies, their pleasure, and their sense of self. Written with deep empathy, this book offers a unique approach by merging trauma-informed therapy with mindfulness practices, emotional regulation techniques, and practical exercises for sexual reintegration.

In these pages, survivors will find a safe space to explore their healing journey, with a particular focus on the often-overlooked relationship between trauma and sexual pleasure. While many resources address either trauma or sexuality, "Liberating Desire" brings the two together, guiding readers toward rediscovering joy, intimacy, and self-love.

The book includes personal narratives from trauma survivors, offering relatable experiences that remind readers they are not alone. Whether you are in the early stages of healing or further along in your journey, this book provides valuable tools, including:

Therapeutic exercises that help you manage triggers, rebuild trust, and set boundaries.

Mindfulness practices to reconnect with your body and cultivate present-moment awareness.

Sensate focus exercises designed to gently reintroduce touch and explore pleasure at your own pace.

Reflections on reclaiming intimacy with yourself and others, helping you communicate needs and rebuild trust.

With every chapter, Cherry Lizzy Johnston reinforces the belief that healing is not only possible but that survivors can rediscover the joy and fulfillment they deserve. "Liberating Desire" serves as both a companion and a guide, providing the tools, insights, and hope needed to move from surviving to thriving. Whether you are seeking to heal or support a loved one, this book is a gentle yet empowering resource for reclaiming wholeness after trauma.
