TRIGGER WARNING: This episode deals with rape and self-harm. Please watch with caution.

----------------

In this episode, we explore a devastating Reddit post from a 20-year-old woman who was sexually assaulted and then abandoned by her boyfriend because she couldn’t be sexually intimate afterward, and I unpack what I would do to help her heal—mentally, emotionally, and somatically.

If you’ve ever felt broken, unlovable, or ashamed after trauma, this episode is for you.

Topics we cover:

• Why trauma often doesn’t start with the event—it starts with unmet needs

• How shame takes root after sexual violence

• Why the nervous system shuts down or disconnects from intimacy

• What healing looks like with neuroplasticity/ memory reconsolidation

If you or someone you know has been affected by sexual trauma, know that you are not alone—and you are not broken. You can heal.
