45. Sex After Trauma: What No One Talks About | Healing, Painful Sex, and Reclaiming Pleasure

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2536598/fan_mail/new] In this deeply personal episode, I share my journey with sex after trauma, painful sex, and healing from sexual abuse. Before I remembered my trauma, sex felt uncomfortable, painful, and I would often freeze in my body without understanding why. As memories surfaced, I began a three-year healing journey with my husband, learning how to communicate, rebuild safety, and reconnect to my body. In this episode, I talk about: • What sex felt like before I remembered my trauma • How trauma can show up as pain, numbness, or freezing during intimacy • The process of healing sexual trauma within a relationship • Why communication and emotional safety are essential for healing • What sex feels like now after doing the deep work to release trauma and reconnect to my body Today, sex feels completely different. I experience pleasure, connection, and safety in a way I never thought was possible. If you’re navigating painful sex, intimacy struggles, or healing from past trauma, this episode is a reminder that healing is possible, and there is so much more available for you on the other side. ~ Hey love, I’m Sarah! 💫 Holistic Practitioner & Transformational Coach behind The Vibe Higher Podcast.
