Healing Childhood Sexual Trauma episodes

  • Boredom, suicidal ideation & repressed childhood sexual trauma

    In this episode, I describe my own relationship to boredom and suicidal ideation and how the exploration of my repressed childhood sexual trauma has provided me with clarity into why I would constantly feel "bored" and engage in passive/mildly active suicidal ideation. I have not felt "bored" or experienced "suicidal ideation" over the past 6 months and I hope that this share will help you connect to a felt sense of preciousness of your own life and connect you to the magic that surrounds you every moment.

    I cover–

    • How "boredom" is intensity experienced through a layer of numbness
    • How your Protector parts are the ones that want you to kill yourself
    • Surrendering a desire for Death to Kali
    • Looking at your astrological chart when you are feeling closer to suicidal ideation

    • Recovering repressed memories of childhood sexual abuse, and life thereafter

      In this episode, I talk briefly about my journey recovering repressed memories of childhood sexual abuse and the unique challenges that it's brought to my life. If you also live with recovered repressed memories of childhood sexual abuse and would love to write to me about your story, I'd love to hear – [email protected]


      I was originally intending this to be a reel on IG @heal.childhood.sexual.trauma, but then it got too long for that :)

    • Introduction to the podcast

      This podcast intends to be a space to share stories of healing childhood sexual trauma.


      Childhood sexual abuse is widely prevalent (1 in 3 women, 1 in 6 men) and simultaneously, hardly spoken about. The taboo associated with the subject allows this disease to persist within our society. Over the last year, I have spoken to and read stories of hundreds of adult survivors. Traumas can’t be compared and yet, I believe that this is one of the deepest forms of trauma that exists. So learning about it holds the key to deep spiritual growth for both adult survivors and others alike.

      In this podcast, I desire to interview survivors across race, caste, nationality and economic class. I desire to allow each survivor the choice in revealing as much or as little of their story as they feel comfortable with, while encouraging the use of non-euphemistic language in describing what was done to them when they were kids. Euphemisms only serve to further dampen the impact of the ghastliness of the act of raping a child and allow such acts to persist in our society.

      Here, we make space for ghastliness.

      I intend for this podcast to be a healing space for the adult survivors sharing their story. The act of speaking to an audience is healing in itself and I’ll be also sharing somatic tools and practices to the interviewee as we explore their history. If you’d like to be interviewed, please reach out to me.
