Gaelyn Rae Emerson joins me to talk about the impact of abandonment on women dealing with betrayal trauma from pornography and sexual addiction. She outlines a method she uses to help women move toward healing when they've been abandoned. In this episode: 

- She defines the term “sexual abandonment”.

- She describes the role pornography plays in this concept of sexual abandonment.

- She talks about the framework she uses to help her clients engage their grief with self-compassion?

- She shares why it's critical that women grieve and mourn this pain of sexual abandonment and why is it so scary to do so.
