Landscaping cohort – fall edition
For helping professionals working with sexuality, intimacy and therapeutic relationship
We carry our client’s most intimate struggles—their shame, their confusion, their longing. But rarely do we have space to examine what these themes stir in us. What we inherited. What we still haven’t made sense of.
This cohort creates that space.
“The most powerful thing we can offer our clients is our honesty. The acknowledgement that we too are navigating the same cultural landscape.”
And yet, most of our training taught us to name, categorize, and intervene. To keep distance. Rarely to sit inside with our clients and even rarely to sit with ourselves.
This cohort is not a training, not a supervision group or personal therapy.
It is something in between—a space for practitioners who are willing to remain human and curious within their work, rather than only competent.
What is the intention of this space and how does it work?
Your history, your body, your desires, your wounds are alive in every session you hold. This cohort is where you no longer have to pretend otherwise.
Twice a month, a group of practitioners gather together—to reflect about our clients, about our practice, and about ourselves. Sessions are facilitated. I also share. Because I believe that practitioners who have sat with their own landscape bring something into the room that no technique can replicate.
This cohort is for you if
- You work with clients around sexuality, relationships, intimacy, or trauma—and want to feel more grounded and skilled in doing it;
- you recognize the helper pattern in yourself—overgiving, difficulty receiving, poor boundaries, an identity built on being needed—and you are ready to examine it;
- you work with or want to work affirmatively with clients in alternative sexualities – and want to show up without blind spots;
- you are tired of professional development that stays safely on the surface;
- you want a consistent, peer community of practitioners who take this work, and themselves seriously.
This cohort is not for you if
- You don’t feel comfortable to share and participate as peer;
- you are not willing to explore your own blindspots;
- you find it difficult to be learner among peers, rather than the most experienced person in the room;
- you are looking for clinical answers rather than relational and honest inquiry;
- you are interested in theory, but not willing to meet the themes personally;
- you are comfortable bringing your clients into the room, but not yourself.
How is the cohort structured
We meet twice a month over three months—two sessions per topic each doing a different kind of work. Each session has a theme—sexuality and sexual trauma, alternative sexualities and power dynamics, helper syndrome and wounded healer.
Main session - 90 minutes
We open with teaching about the topic of the session, then we move to case studies together—grounding the idea in real situations. We close with a personal process piece, where you begin to connect the topic to your own life and practice and put light on how it impacts your work.
Between sessions
This is where the real work happens, you take your questions and prompts into your week. What happens in the days after is where the concept stops being a concept and starts being an experience.
Integration session - 60 minutes (120 minutes the last one)
We come back together to share what emerged, what surprised you, what was harder than expected, what shifted. You bring the real material, shared from experience, not from theory.
The final integration session is two hours. It is intentional.
By the time you arrive at it, you have moved through three territories and something has shifted in how you are sitting with this work. The closing session exists to name that. Not to summarize what was covered, but to witness what actually happened.
The first part runs like every integration session before it, participant led, grounded in what surfaced in the gap, shaped by what the group brings into the room.
Then the integration part comes. This is where the cohort reflects on the full arc, not topic by topic, but as a whole. What you came in carrying. What you are leaving without. What you are leaving with that you didn’t arrive with.
This is a space where growing clinically and growing personally happen at the same time.

What happens between the sessions
When you leave session 1, you are not leaving with answers. You are leaving with something alive in you—a frame that’s been activated, a question that hasn’t resolved. And for the weeks that follow that question travels with you.
Into your session with clients. Into conversations you didn’t expect. Into the moment in an afternoon when you notice you have been avoiding something.
That is not incidental. It’s the intention.
You don’t have to try to make this happen. The topic will surface in places it didn’t before.
What you bring to session 2 is what changes everything. Not your thoughts about the topic, but what the topic did to you when no one was watching. If you disengage in the gap, you will come back with opinions. If you stay in contact with it, you will come back with experience.
By participating you acknowledge that any emotional material that arises is your responsibility to process. You can reach out to me if you need any extra support.

Adriana
I am deeply passionate about the intersection of professional development and personal inner work. I do believe that as practitioners we need to acknowledge and own that we are humans exactly as our clients which means we carry the same struggles and conditionings as they are.Being able to sit with our own discomfort and exploring what we might be unconsciously avoiding or overemphasizing allows us to hold space for our clients from a place of authenticity and humility.
The therapeutic relationship becomes most transformative when we no longer position ourselves above the work, but remain human and humble about it, and committed to our own personal exploration as much as we are to theirs.
As a psychosomatic sex educator and depth coach, I specialize in navigating the complex territories of boundaries, power dynamics, and alternative sexualities. A central part of my commitment is dedicated to supporting professionals in the helping fields—therapists, coaches, and educators—assisting them in bringing integrity, awareness, and an authentically sex-positive perspective to their practice, especially when facing histories of attachment trauma or boundary violations.
