Sexual Trauma
I am often asked why I specialize in sexual trauma therapy & sex therapy
Frankly, I can relate and I believe you. Many people consider this topic unpalatable. However, I know what that journey looks and feels like. When you are “in it,” you cannot see anything else and it feels like there is no light at the end of the tunnel. Past traumas infiltrate every aspect of your life without you even realizing it.
You may have a disdain for being touched and find it hard to trust people. You may unconsciously silence your needs and desires while prioritizing the desires of others. Feelings of self-blame & self-doubt seem ubiquitous and constant. However, I can tell you from personal experience that there is another side that is absolutely attainable and liberating. I consider it a privilege to work with sexual trauma survivors to curate a life of peace & empowerment in which you can thrive. This is a nonjudgemental space in which you can share all of those thoughts and emotions and feel understood..
People in your life may have a diminished capacity to listen to details, understand your triggers and emotions tied to sexual assault and narcissistic abuse. They either “don’t get it” or they can’t listen anymore and awkwardly change the subject.
Here, you can express all of the details and confusing emotions with someone that can compassionately sit in that space with you and provide a psychologically based perspective. Believe it or not, you can acquire tools to empower yourself to move through life with peace & greater ease.
