Did you know 24.8 percent of women have experienced rape in their lifetimes? That means if you walk into a room with four to five women, more than likely at least one of them has experienced rape.  A heart-breaking stat.  Dorothy shares how she reclaimed her mind, body, and soul after rape by using pleasure.  Her key was unlocking five different pillars that she has found to not only transform one's sex life but life all around.  Rape is a taboo subject and a very challenging topic to discuss, but it's also so very important to discuss because the more we normalize the discussion and different healing modalities, the more support we can offer survivors.  This helps to end the cycle of violence that more often than not, affects women.  This episode of Nantucket After Dark is especially supportive for anyone that has experienced rape or wants to support a loved one that has experienced sexual trauma.  Download your free copy of The Unlocked Mystic - The Sacred Sexual Woman; https://nantucketloveschool.com/theunlockedmysticEmail me to join the free Unbound Mystic women's circle on April 6th. dorothy@dorothydstover.comIf you would like more information about the upcoming Sacred Sexual Women's Circle beginning at the End of April 2022, email me at dorothy@dorothydstover.comwww.dorothydstover.comwww.nantucketloveschool.comQuestions, feedback, or praise email Dorothy at dorothy@dorothydstover.com
