From author of Fourth Trimester, a guide for women of any age who feel out of touch with their body and their true desires but know that their sexuality holds untapped power.
Women experience so many crossroads at the different stages in our lives—these might include exploring sexuality, beginning a relationship, becoming a mother, trying to get pregnant, losing a baby, in perimenopause or menopause, leaving a marriage. At these thresholds, our bodies change, our relationship to sexuality changes, and our desires can become mysterious. Most of us don’t have the language, information, or courage to communicate about these changes, so we are left feeling confused, lost or broken. Kimberly Ann Johnson, sexological bodyworker and Somatic Experiencing practitioner, has helped thousands of women connect with their bodies and desires and put their pieces back together. In Erotic Seasons, she offers profound insights to women at all stages.
Erotic Seasons guides women toward a revolutionary reckoning with sexuality. Grounded in understanding the female body in our monthly, seasonal, and lifetime rhythms, the book guides readers to locate themselves in their own anatomy and nervous system patterns. Kimberly reframes the archetypes of the female lifespan—maiden, mother, virgin, crone—for women today and shares powerful stories of women across generations, helping readers orient to the realities and mysteries of each life stage. Then, with this knowledge, women can experience sexuality that allows us to become more present, awake, and alive throughout our lives.
