Sexual trauma & Unhealthy Romantic relationships

Whether it was chronic for years and years, or it was a one-time assault, relationship trauma can get stuck in the body.

I work with adults who have been sexually abused. Maybe you’ve never said it out loud before. Maybe you’ve talked about “abuse” in general, but it’s scary to think about what really happened.

It may be impacting your life in obvious ways- you never quite feel safe during sex, you flinch when you think about intimacy, or in the reverse, maybe you have sex to regain the feeling of control, it feels like it can’t have power over you if you’re saying “yes” this time.

It may not be so obvious. You might wake up in the morning exhausted from your dreams during the night. You might still have sex or be intimate, but you feel disconnected. You avoid sex altogether. You might not feel anything emotionally, but you’re having issues with your pelvic floor that are impacting your life in other ways.

The body and the mind are deeply connected.

I want you to be able to heal.

I want you to have choices again.

It takes some deep work, but you can get there.
