Training approach
This training stands out because it answers to a dual need of practitioners (in the field):
- Firstly, to acquire theoretical knowledge on sexuality, desire and the mental part of the physical process.
- Secondly, to provide a practical approach to reconnect patients to their bodies, feelings and creativity.
For any therapist, being able to respond to patients’ questions about sexuality is paramount.

Body Cartography®
Body Cartography® is a body-emotion-mind paradigm developed by Haguit Ehrenfreund, PhD, Doctor in Psychopathology and Dance Movement therapist.
This working model is a concept for the study and understanding of the links between bodily expression and past emotional and psychological experiences.
The paradigm provides a methodology for examining the flow of movement related to emotional expression and mental processes.
The aim is for individuals to be aware of their relationship with their own body and how this connection has been built through past experiences.
This model is inspired by the practice of dance, the clinical practice of dance movement therapy, as well as French psychosomatic and psychoanalytic schools of thought.
Content of the training
Dance and movement therapy in dialogue with sexology
Dance Movement therapy is one of the three major mind-body techniques applied to sexology.
The prior requirement of intimate movement and body knowledge offers a unique perspective for treatments.
Movement in this approach is understood both as a diagnostic and a therapeutic tool.
Feelings, sensations, emotions, fantasies, representations, are all part of the infinite complexity of desire.
These two days of training will prepare you to help, listen and use embodied transference.
So, patients restore the relationship between their body, emotions and sharing.
From a clinical point of view, sexology is defined as: “the study of human sexuality, its disorders and care.”
It is an interdisciplinary approach that takes into account the physiological, psychological, social and cultural aspects.
Understanding that male and female bodies are different might seem trivial, however, it has been taken into account by medical professionals only in recent years.
Affecting one woman out of four, problems of sexual desire constitute the main reasons for clinical sexology consultations.
They may cause a loss of self-confidence, strained relationships and sometimes lead to separations.
Hence, the value of developing innovative therapeutic perspectives.
Program of the training
Movement is used to express our emotions, to connect with others, to develop sensuality and creativity. Movement also shapes up our representation of an intimate relationship.
Body Cartography® emphasizes the role of the body, the emotional and mental parts of the movement, as well as the intensity of the mind-body dialogue in these processes.
This training represents the opportunity to develop your theoretical knowledge as well as your practical tools as clinicians.
We will focus on adapting the following competences to the clinical perspective on desire:
- Corporeality awareness.
- Experience of the present: senses and creativity.
- Interpretation of messages between the body and the emotions.
- Investigation of conflicts and unconscious inhibitions.
- Actualization of body patterns and representations.
Program
The representation of the body-emotion relation to the image of one’s own body performs a key role in a sentimental life.
By guiding people’s development of their kinesthetic senses, the clinical approach to sexuality becomes creative and sensitive.
The Body Cartography® paradigm elaborated by Dr. Haguit Ehrenfreund offers an individual and/or couple evaluation to comprehend the nature of the patient’s trouble.
Dance movement therapy’s clinical tools develop a therapeutic strategy, unique to each patient according to their needs.
Objectives of the training
- To develop clinical knowledge on sexology.
- To reassess the clinical discourse addressing disorders of female desire and the couple.
- To refresh listening competences at a corporeal level.
