Sexual Trauma & Shame
Sexual Trauma has a way of haunting us like nothing else can. And the devastating thing is that carrying shame is the double wound: first, that we were harmed to begin with, and second, that we carry a sense of defectiveness—right to the present—that something must be terribly wrong with us.
Our work together can bring healing from the trauma itself, but just as important for moving forward, help you step into the reality that there is nothing defective about you. Understanding this reality will empower you to let go of the misplaced shame.
Sexual shame can take many forms: sexual abuse as a child, being sexually assaulted as a teenager or college student; porn use or online forums where you went farther than you would’ve ever imagined.
If you’re burdened with a sexual history and tired of carrying the shame, I’m here to help. Reach out and we’ll set up a time to talk and answer any questions you may have.
