Ep. 84: Sex & Trauma: The Elephant in the Bedroom

Today we are talking about trauma, and I really encourage you to listen to this one, even though it is more of a serious and heavy topic. It is a really necessary conversation we need to have as women, especially as we continue to tap into all of our potential in so many different ways. Even if you think this may not apply to you, you may still learn something about your own body and experiences. Trauma has many forms, and it is going to affect your ability to access pleasure, and that’s why we’re here. 

Disclaimer: In this episode, I will mention abuse, sexual assault, and childhood abuse, but I will not go into any details. My intention in discussing this topic is to open up a safe, loving, and healthy dialogue so that we can all heal. I hope that this is episode will jumpstart your healing journey and will lead to more pleasure in your sex life and every part of your life. 

Topics in this episode

• Why I haven’t talked about trauma on this podcast before
• Trauma is another part of being human that we can all learn how to embrace. We don’t have to feel afraid of it. It can be an opportunity for us to love ourselves even deeper
• How to support ourselves when we feel the sensations from trauma
• It is our birthright to experience pleasure and freedom in our own bodies
• Recognizing trauma in our brains and in our relationships with our bodies
• Not shaming our brain and body’s responses to trauma

It’s been my absolute pleasure to be with you here today and have this conversation.
