Opening with "birthday cake" analogy, this episode focuses on different ways to heal from sexual wounds, abuse, regrets, and harmful messages that a woman may have suffered. These harms can bind her up and keep her from experiencing the fullness of freedom, connection, joy, and delight the the Lord intends for her in marital intimacy. During Holy Week is the perfect time to bring all these wounds to Jesus, to lay at the foot of his Cross. 

Therapies that can help heal emotional wounds from past sexual abuse:

• Internal Family Systems (this involves "parts work," taking care of the younger parts of yourself)
• Lifespan Integration Therapy
• EMDR

Deliverance Prayer 

• Unbound / Heart of the Father Ministries (you can request an online prayer session, or search an in-person team near you)
