Sex Work For Survivors – Alisha Fisher

How to Handle Triggers & Dissociation While Working Experiencing sexual violence is a form of trauma that, no matter what the circumstances were or how long ago it happened, can change the way we experience sex. This form of trauma has a profound impact on sex workers and how they can carry on with their work. In this talk we will examine how our minds process sexual trauma, what are triggers and how they can impact our mental, emotional and physical awareness, and then wrap up with strategies of how we can navigate triggers, such as dissociation, while on the job, and/or in our everyday lives.
