Searching For Empowerment: Sexual Trauma, Survival Paralysis, & Perfectionism As A Trauma Response ft. Helen Ferguson
TW: Sexual Assault
This week on The Search For Serotonin podcast, I sat down with Specialist Trauma Therapist, Helen Ferguson, to talk about sexual trauma, recovery, and empowering yourself again! Helen specializes in childhood trauma and sexual abuse recovery, so I wanted to have her back on the podcast to provide a more professional take on sexual assault, since I’ve been discussing my experience a lot recently. Helen shares how both sexual assault & sexual abuse fall under the umbrella of sexual trauma. We also discuss common responses & behaviors people experience after experiencing these types of trauma, and how to recover & empower yourself through self compassion & healing. Also, Helen puts the rumor that “perfectionism is a trauma response” to rest. Listen now to hear our full conversation!
