Hi. I am searching everywhere I know for I formation so that I can make a healthy decision and cannot seem to find information on a topic. I found this website through the book Healing Sex.
I did not see guides for posting or topics/matters that are acceptable to posts or not. So....can someone please tell me what the purpose of this forum is, so that I can decide if I am in the right place to ask for information? Please.

Okay, well... I am gonna throw it out there and see what happens.
I am a survivor of childhood sexual and mental trauma. I have worked long, hard and mostly steady to heal with great growth and continual good results.
I have gone as far as I think I can with all the resources I am aware and am content with my life and self. But I am not whole. I have more healing I would like to do (hence why I am reading the book Healing Sex).
I have been made aware of what I am told is a type of therapy/method of healing that would be having someone in a Teacher/Mentor/Guide/Parent role in my life to physically take me through the various stages of my growth where I have been abused and re-do those stages with good healthy/loving outcomes. (Rule of no sexual contact or tones at all).
This is not S/M role play. This is legit going back and being in those moments; i. e. Bath time, bedtime, infant, toddler, child, etc.
WHAT I NEED TO KNOW IS: is this a known form of therapy? (Notice I did not say "well-known" or approved....i just need to know what y'all kbow please)

Tbh, sounds creepy to me. I’m very avoidant tho so even reading the description made my skin crawl and gave me the desire to run for the hills. But people are different and I’m sure there’s some good information in your interest in this therapy. In other words, I think if you spoke with a trusted open minded therapist they might be able to point you in the direction of a specific therapy that’s a good fit for you. I know a big part of being a trauma survivor for me has been rejecting help and tying a lot of my identity to my independence. I’m at the point where I wish someone would take care of me for once but I barely know how to do that. Maybe this therapy is interesting you because it looks like a way to be nurtured. My first thought is that we don’t need to be nurtured as infants we need to learn to ask for help as adults from adults. Mostly I’d ask you questions but I know I’m not coming back to this forum and I’m already procrastinating on a bunch of things I need to get done. But I wish you well and hope you already got some good answers elsewhere. P.S. There are a lot of professionals writing about working with the body to recover from trauma. Here’s a short list if you’re not already familiar with them...
