Dear Men: How to Rock Sex, Dating, and Relationships With Women

252: How to date & have connected sex with a trauma background (ft. Michael Unbroken)


Listen Later

Trauma recovery might not seem like the sexiest topic, but you guys, it is. When it comes to to having healthy, passionate, connected sex, dating, and love relationships, it's everything! You may have become aware (through, perhaps, this podcast) that you've likely got some childhood neglect or other kind of trauma background, and you may be wondering whether that's ever resolvable.

The answer is YES. Even if you've been through the wringer. Which Michael Unbroken has. A survivor of poverty, child sexual abuse, domestic violence, and a whole lot more, he has serious legs to stand on when it comes to overcoming adversity. Now an expert on complex PTSD (cPTSD) and a life coach for trauma survivors, he asserts that:

"The number one shift you can make in your healing journey is asking for help and getting the support that you need and deserve to break free of generational curses, childhood trauma, and the pain of the past."

Amen.

If you or someone you've dated has a trauma background, this is one you'll want to listen to.

Memorable quotes from this episode:

  • “You’re better off going in the wrong direction than no direction at all.”
  • "Fear is the very thing that both keeps us safe and keeps us stuck. That’s a hard thing to reconcile."
  • "Dating can be like warfare."
  • "Go to professionals."
  • "I absolutely love my life now."
