A letter of appreciation from a client
I am constantly humbled by the trust and integrity of the clients I get to work with. To see their journey of moving from places of shame and stuckness to meeting challenges and reclaiming deep pleasure in their lives is an absolute privilege. Here is a recent letter a client sent me after several months of work together. It is a beautiful reflection of him meeting his edges and finding places of erotic empowerment he never thought possible.
Hi Susan, I have reflected on our time together and thought I would share.
My Journey with You
I was in a bad place and needed to reach out to someone, looked at lots of options but settled on contacting you.
First a phone call, that went longer than expected in the midst of COVID. With a few questions you were able to open me up without judgement. The sense of freedom from that call was amazing.
Nothing happened until COVID restrictions came off as my preference was face to face.
You contacted me to see if I was still interested …… yes I was and booked an appointment.
The first visit, I apprehensively walked over the stepping stones up to the studio. Was greeted by you into a beautiful space that in itself is calming, by this person who radiates care and professionalism. That visit is a bit of a blur now, we discussed what I was there for, none of which I could easily express, although the concept of intimacy and getting a piece of that in my life would be good. We did some body work which was really around safe touch. It still lit a flame under me to learn more. Now I realise how unconsciously incompetent in regards (sex/eroticism/intimacy/arousal/pleasure), I was.
Since then I have been back almost fortnightly. The amazing thing is that you will encourage me to step to my edges. Some of which were quite immense (undressing rituals, full body orgasm etc) whilst others still stretched me (simple games and practices). Not once have I moved to a space of terrified yet not once have I not been stretched in mind and body. The big surprise (amongst many big surprises) was your capacity to act as my confidante and build a safe space to talk.
The impact on me has been immense as I continue to be challenged on what I previously saw as norms. It probably sounds odd but my body and mind feel better connected now. In the past my mind always led my body, working out what I could or should do and then engaging my body. Now I am more likely to be in a situation or even prior and feel for my body and what it is doing, my brain then is invited into the why or how of this.
I know I have a really long way to go in this journey, you have been the best person to introduce me to it…I have been so blessed…..Thankyou.
Susan your impact on me is unquestionable and what you have invested in my journey. There is no-one with whom I can feel so free to even discuss let alone try things with.
S.C
