About Christina Sogl

Having suffered from atopic dermatitis since early childhood, Christina was already sensitive to the fascinating interplay of mind and body as a teenager. She has always been a rebel – passionate about unconventional approaches and the development of new structures: integrating physical touch into psychoanalysis, giving birth to her two sons at home, and co-founding the Freie Aktive Schule Stuttgart as a life-serving alternative to the existing school system.

Christina studied psychology and soon found herself among the therapeutic fringe group of psychoanalytically based body therapists. There, she experienced intense influence before later studying classical psychoanalysis to gain diagnostic insight.

While working in her own practice, she soon realized that the health insurance system was too restrictive for her and decided to leave in order to be free, to devote herself to her major social concerns and to use all her abilities to do so. Since then, she has passionately immersed herself in the topic of collective sexual trauma and courageously explored paths to healing: healing touch as trauma healing, slow sex, radical honesty.

Based on her own experiences, she is passionately committed to establishing a new culture of love, touch, and sex as a central foundation for peaceful coexistence: She seeks to transform the mutual control, fear, mistrust, lies, manipulation, contempt, and hatred between the sexes, deeply rooted in our culture and rooted in deeply internalized power structures, into sincerity, trust, and appreciation in encounters at truly eye- and heart-level.

Together with her husband, she founded the Stuttgart Trust Space for Men and Women, where a sincere encounter of desire and intimacy between men and women is practiced and cultivated. A nationwide virtual trust space is being planned.

In her podcast, LebensLiebesLust (LifeLoveLust), she delves deeply into the various facets of embodied trauma and offers physical paths to vitality, fulfillment, and ecstasy in life, love, and sex.
