In this bold and compassionate episode of More Than Sex and Secrets, Dr. Lisha Antiqua unpacks a powerful truth: You can’t fully heal from childhood sexual abuse if you keep reliving it emotionally, mentally, or spiritually.

While awareness is essential, fixating on the trauma keeps survivors trapped in the very pain they’re trying to escape. Lisha shares how CSA symptoms like dissociation, people-pleasing, body shame, chronic illness, relationship struggles, and hyper-vigilance are normal responses to a deeply abnormal experience — like having someone break into your home… and never leave.

You’ll learn:

• Why traditional talk therapy often stalls trauma healing

• The most common symptoms and misdiagnoses of CSA survivors

• How trauma creates emotional “squatters” in your body and mind

• A shift from trauma focus to sovereign healing and identity restoration

📚 Dr. Lisha also invites you to her 8-week class at Gateway University, beginning January 22nd — an immersive course in trauma-informed identity restoration, nervous system repair, and personal empowerment.
