26. Bonus Episode : Barriers to Safe Bodies, Trusted Relationships, and Healthy Sex
Trigger Warning: I discuss childhood sexual abuse, sexual trauma, and other forms of childhood maltreatment.
This episode is inspired by Glennon Doyle's podcast " We Can Do Hard Things". I listened to her most recent episodes which pertain to sex. It made me realize the importance of speaking out and why we must do everything possible to de-stigmatize the topic of sex and sexuality. It also prompted me to want to discuss some of the barriers that we face that prevent us from having healthy sexual relationships with others and why at times we feel unsafe in our bodies. As many of us know, it is often due to child abuse. As long as I have a voice, I will never grow tired of advocating for abused children and anyone living with PTSD due to childhood abuse, neglect, and abandonment. I will never get tired of speaking about how we heal. If you would like to listen to those episodes here they are:
