Recorded in the Spring of 2022, so much has since happened in both my and Rachael's lives. So much has evolved. This episode is a testament to the beauty of trusting change. Change comes to bring us an opportunity to grow in wisdom and depth. Change comes to bring us an opportunity to parse, understand, see, and love ourselves a little more deeply. Change comes to bring the outer structural shifts that are needed in order to support our inner evolutionary cycles. Honor the change happening in your life. Honor the disintegration. Honor the parse and the parts that make themselves evident on the other side of change. Trust your wholeness, your seasons, your body, and cyclical time enough to know that goodness is coming. Integration is coming. Joy is coming. Truth is here. About Rachael Rachael Maddox is a seasoned guide to healers & CEOs, as well as a 2-time author, podcaster, DJ, and full-blood witch.

Since our first interview back in February 2016, today's guest has become one of my closest friends. What I love about Rachael Maddox is that her intelligence, rigor, and commitment to trauma resolution work runs as deep and wide as her passion, power, and capacity to hold space for it. She is one of the people I trust most in the world with the intimate details of my own healing, and a person who I learn from constantly. In this interview we talk about what it feels like to be on the other side of trauma in sex, and that YES, it is totally possible to heal from sexual trauma. We talk a lot about needs, connecting to your needs, asking for them, and honoring yourself and others around getting them met. We explored anger not being bad, safe love and intimate belonging, and what needs to be reclaimed to get to a place of healthy and safe sex after trauma. As always when trauma is involved in the conversation, please take care of yourself, pause the interview at any point if you need to and come back when you're ready.

If you’ve been following the media in the States, there’s been a big and important conversation going recently on about sexual abuse against women. Rachael’s work on healing sexual trauma speaks directly to this issue and peels back the curtain on how to move through it. I learned SO much in this interview with Rachael. She’s smart, passionate, and deeply committed to helping women heal. She tells her story with honesty and courage. And loads of hope, which I so appreciated. In my previous career as a school counselor, I had the profound honor of supporting several teen girls through sexual trauma. Helping women speak up in all areas of their life is my heart’s work. I wish I’d had these resources to share with them at the time, but I’m so grateful to at least be able to share Rachael’s valuable tools now. *DISCLAIMER: If you’ve experienced sexual trauma, or this conversation triggers you in anyway, take care of yourself. Stop listening to it, take some deep breaths, get help if needed.* We talk about: Her definition of trauma (“embodied violation hangover”) The ABCs of trauma resolution (there’s hope!) Her personal journey with trauma and how she healed Building a “wide base of support” Waking up from “trauma spells” and tools to release Returning to sensuality after trauma (and her new book Sex After Trauma) The #metoo movement (and being careful with it) More about Rachael and her work: Rachael Maddox is a trauma resolution educator, coach and guide who dedicates her days to helping women who’ve experienced sexual trauma unshame and reclaim their pleasure, power and wholeness.

My own inner archetype of the secret bad girl. This woman who initiated me into looking at my secret bad girl is Rachael Maddox. My secret bad girl had unknowingly been longing to be seen, heard and accepted fully so this book came into my life at the perfect time. She was begging for my attention, but I wasn't listening. Until I gave her a voice. Until I listened to her, saw her, witnessed her. Until I was willing to play with her, dance with her, hold her, soothe her, give her my love and attention. If you've been struggling with a part of you that feels like she's bad, dirty, naughty, unwelcome, slutty, misbehaving or needs to be a "good girl" and "behave" then you're going to love this episode of the podcast. I remember back in the day always being told things like this... Pull your shirt down! Pull your pants up! Stop pulling your dress up! Stop touching yourself like that! Close your legs! Sit like a lady! Be a good girl! Behave! Sit down, be quiet, hush up! Can you relate? Deep down we all have different aspects of our sexuality and sometimes our erotic innocence can be misused, abused, manipulated or encouraged to be hidden, changed or repressed. This is where the concept of Secret Bad Girl comes in and I'm so excited that Rachael and I got to talk about this. Here's what we dive into in this juicy conversation: How to connect with your Secret Bad Girl & surprisingly what she needs from you How you can bring love & attention to her in a way that she actually needs How to use your secret bad girl to heal & release trauma What it takes to become a grown goddess (plus some yummy practices to help you!) What trauma is & how to begin healing it on a body level How you might be caught under a “trauma spell”

Today on the LOVE SEX DESIRE Podcast Series I’m exploring Sexual Trauma with the help of Rachael Maddox, a coach and trauma specialist. Rachael spends her days helping women who've experienced sexual trauma understand and heal from its stronghold so they can move through the world with confidence, joy and success. She also recently published her first book, SECRET BAD GIRL, where she reveals her own sexual trauma experiences and offers up some wise guidance on resolving that trauma. In this episode we discuss: defining sexual trauma beyond rape/assault/molestation ways to reconnect with your natural blueprint of health how unresolved sexual trauma can show up in your life and manifest in your body the six keys for breaking the trauma spell
Rachael Maddox is the recent author of the book "Secret Bad Girl" in which shares her own journey. Subtitled "How I broke my long-standing sexual trauma spell and grew vibrant, vital & free. A provocative memoir & wildly wise resolution guide," her book relays her story, and offers insights on how anyone under the trauma spell can reach full recovery. Rachael is a coach, a singer and songwriter, and a teacher, plus she's funny, real, and so genuine. While it's a tough topic, we both laugh plenty and share how joy really IS possible, even after living through a traumatic event (Rachael's past trauma being sexual trauma, mine being PTSD related to childbirth). In this episode, Rachael outlines some of her findings in researching how to resolve sexual trauma. She shares that trauma is something stored in the body, the result of a person's fight, flight, or freeze response not being fully resolved after the initial trauma incident. In her work, which involves extensive coaching, training, and research, she's found that resolving sexual trauma is something best done through somatic (body) work. Her approach is heartfelt, genuine, and something she's lived through. Rachael had a successful kickstarter, and her book is now available for download on Amazon starting 1/19/16. In this episode, Rachael talks about: - what trauma is, and how it remains in your body long after the trauma event - the definition of a trauma spell or trauma cloud - different kinds of trauma, such as post traumatic stress disorder and rape trauma - Rachael's path to healing, which started at Adult Circus camp - suggestions for addressing trauma in your own life - Rachael's Dream Tour around the US this last summer - her song, "live" on the podcast, "Shake" - where I fess up about one of my core desired feelings being "enraptured" and Rachael's insights on how rapture means to "be your longing" - the Celestine Prophecy of Everything (Rachael's take on her role in the world) Resources: Rachael's website at RachaelMaddox.com Sign up for the 12/22/15 webinar episode to work on your 2016 goals Episode 10: Molly Larkin (I reference this in the interview) Peter Levine's book, Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma (on Amazon) Danielle LaPorte's book The Desire Map: A Guide to Creating Goals with Soul (Core Desired Feelings) (on Amazon) The post Episode 14: Secret Bad Girl: A Journey of Sexual Trauma Resolution with Rachael Maddox appeared first on Jump Start Your Joy.
