It's time we address sexual trauma—a subject I understand deeply through personal experience, extensive research, and my work with clients. In the latest episode of "Practically Awake," I delve into this nuanced topic.

I share my journey of overcoming sexual trauma, detailing the healing process and share some tips. Additionally, I bring attention to an often-overlooked issue: sexual abuse and trauma in men. Despite its prevalence, it rarely gets the visibility it deserves.

Many of us, regardless of gender identity or sexuality, have experienced sexual trauma or traumatic conditioning related to sex. It's crucial to become aware of the collective societal messaging that harms us all. By bringing these shadows to light, we can break the cycle of sexual abuse and trauma.
