Podcasts about sex after trauma

Hello loves, Today is a heavy topic. TRIGGER WARNING: This episode includes heavy graphics, triggers of sexual assault, and rape. Please be advised not to listen, this may be too much for some listeners. I speak about specific triggers of sexual abuse, assault, and rape. Sharing stories of survivors, I connect on intimacy and its effect after sexual abuse, and talk of grooming as well. I inform you about the recent lawsuit being filed against Sean Combs (Diddy) from Casandra Ventura (Cassie). I want to bring to light that these topics are important. That the conversation needs to be had. In this segment, I have not willfully told my story but I hope one day soon I can explain in detail the feelings I had. Just speaking about it brought up flashbacks of my own experiences and I want to tell you that if you are or someone you know, whether it be a loved one, a friend, a family member, or even an acquaintance, your story matters. I am here for you. Down below are the Hotlines/Charities I speak about in this episode, please check them out if you need guidance or a helping hand.

Happy Hump Day everyone, and Happy Sex on the Peach Day. Today's episode is a very difficult, but very necessary one. We're going to be discussing the ways in which different kinds of trauma can affect our relationship with all things sex. Obviously, trauma, recovery and healing look completely different for absolutely everyone - so I don't want this episode to feel like a “how to” on dealing with those traumatic experiences, because everyone needs to find the right way for them - but we'll be looking at the ways trauma can affect your sex life, and what that might look like. I'll be speaking on my personal experiences of trauma and its after-effects, and I'll be suggesting some guidance on how to think about starting to move forward from it, because that's often the hardest part. I'll also be discussing some of the experiences you've sent me and answering some of your questions. I will add now, that this episode comes with trigger warnings of abuse, rape and sexual violence, so please take that into consideration before listening, and only proceed if you feel comfortable.Sex On The Peach is a completely inclusive, open, judgement free zone. However you identify - both in your gender and sexuality, whatever race, age, size, ability, religion you are - everyone is welcome here, and I hope that at some point in an episode we will touch on something you can relate to and resonate with.Please like, follow, share, review and subscribe to stay in the loop of all future episodes, and you can also follow me on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube @sexonthepeachcast.

Flagging: This week's episode discusses issues around sexual trauma.  This week on Smut Drop, we welcome one of North America's leading sex therapists on to the podcast, Dr Holly Richmond. Her treatment specialties include low libido, sexual dysfunction, compulsive sexuality, desire discrepancies in couples, recovery from sexual trauma, and alternative/non-traditional sexual expression.  Each interlinked facet of her work is grounded in a sex-positive perspective: all sex is good sex as long as it is consensual and pleasurable.  It is an incredibly insightful conversation - how do we recognise the signs of trauma, how can we move through the experience and start to reclaim our bodies, our lives and our sexual pleasure.  Plus, Miri delves into the world of love languages... what is yours? And we hear your revenge stories!  Make sure you follow and subscribe so you never miss an episode, and of course, give us a cheeky five star rating.   To send us your listener stories, or if you just wanna say hi, drop us an email at smutdrop@metro.co.uk You can also find us on Instagram; @miri_kane @MetroUK Links  www.drhollyrichmond.com www.next-sex.com 

*Take extra care when listening to this episode* In this guest episode, Stacie and Louise take on the very sensitive topic of navigating sex after sexual trauma. They vulnerably share their own personal journey's which coincidentally have similar themes. Sexual intimacy and relationships can be extremely difficult to navigate when often survivor's are still in the trauma response. As aways, there are many potential varying experiences however, the hope in sharing this conversation is that it is a safe space to reflect upon your own experience and recognise what you need to heal after sexual trauma. We give you permission to be exactly where you are and encourage you to question unserving beliefs you may have about yourself and your sexuality; trauma often has a way of creating limiting beliefs and behaviours.

The orgasm gap is real and Anna and Polly are here to bridge it with an Ann Summers dildo. Jacqueline Gold, CEO of the multi-million pound sex emporium speaks up about finding the right sex toy and centring female pleasure in a world that's historically focused on the penis. They talk sex after trauma, wielding your sexual power in the bedroom and boardroom and the first ever dildo to land in Ann Summers stores in the 70s. It's called ‘The Hermit' and it's a world away from the rampant rabbit. This episode well and truly hits the G-spot. Original music by Matt J Brown at WeAreOK.com

Kyra was kidnapped and sexually assaulted by an ex-boyfriend her Junior year of High School.  She was taken in the middle of the night and was transported to a field behind the local HS where she was assaulted in many ways.  She was put back in the car and made the comment to him “I can't believe I ever trusted you.”  So, instead of taking her home, he took her to the dump, where she thought she was going to die.Nobody in her hometown believed her.  He was a preacher's son and an athlete and on an athletic scholarship and nobody thought he would ever do such a thing.  So, she didn't know where to turn or who would believe her.She didn't see a therapist for any of this until nearly 10 years later and has been in therapy ever since.  Every week in therapy is a new adventure uncovering new things about herself.  If she had started therapy immediately following her trauma, she admits that she may not have gotten as much out of it.  She wasn't believed, so she didn't even believe herself.We aren't “dealing with things,” we're working through things.  She will never go back to her life the way it used to be.  There is before the trauma and there is after the trauma and you can never go back to the time before, you can only work to make the life after the trauma the best that it can be.  What's the new normal?  How has this trauma shown up in Kyra's life?  She is very up front about how things have affected her.    She is very open and honest about what has happened to her, at least at a high level, with prospective partners.  So many of them can't handle it and basically run away.  She realizes that this is not about her, it's about what they can or cannot handle.  Kyra shares a couple of examples of times with partners that involve how her trauma has affected her sexual encounters.   She didn't want to go to therapy because “broken people go to therapy.”  She was willing to share her brokenness, but wanted to seem put together all the time on social media.  This was because, according to her therapist, she needed to control the narrative.  So, she had to bribe herself to go to therapy.  She wasn't there to talk about her trauma, she was just there to talk about whatever the problem was at the time.  Of course, her problems seemed to point back to her trauma, so eventually she was able to talk about the things from her past and begin healing from these traumatic events.She cared so much about the person that assaulted her, she didn't tell the truth about what happened.  The night it happened, her dad told her to write down everything that happened.  So she went back and got a copy.  When she looked back at what she wrote down, so much of what she remembers happening wasn't in what she wrote down because she was still protecting him at the time.“Good sex can't happen until you learn to love yourself, and what you like and what your body likes.”  Society teaches us that a man's pleasure is the most important thing, but that's just not true.  Uncomfortable conversations are important to get the truth out there about sex.  They're hard to have, but they get better over time.Kyra can be found on IG: @kflatow09

This week of The Pleasure Podcast we welcome the award-winning comedian, actor and writer Richard Gadd. In 2016 he won the esteemed Edinburgh comedy award, with Monkey See Monkey Do, a raw, personal account about his sexual assault. It was a performance which pushed the boundaries of comedy and which felt monumentally cathartic for its win.In 2019 his first solo theatre show Baby Reindeer was the talk of Edinburgh. In it he relives his experience of being stalked by a woman with a dangerous obsession with him, about wrestling with his sexuality, and trying to come to terms with his assault.We speak about the effects of growing up in an uber masculine world where you thank God you're not gay, and sex ed was devoid of condoms. He speaks about the sexual abuse and grooming which threw his relationship with sex out of orbit. And of the erectile dysfunction that followed which destroyed relationships and his confidence.The dissociation that followed felt at odds with his happy teenage years and the cost was his loss of the ability to be vulnerable and intimate throughout this period of deep pain.Richard tells us how he has been able to approach sex and intimacy again. And how his deeply personal shows have been part of that healing process.He describes what drives a person to make a show about their trauma and what the effect is when you thought it might ruin you but in fact launched you into a whole new dazzling chapter of your career.The emotional and psychological honesty of Richard's work is astonishing. How he tackles the source of his trauma and his evolving understanding of his own masculinity is truly breath taking.CW: There are some subjects which we cover that listeners might find disturbing: Sexual Abuse, Stalking.Follow Richard on social media @MrRichardGadd for more information on his shows and upcoming dates.*We would love to continue the conversation and hear from you: email us at hello@thepleasurepodcast.com or tweet us @ThePleasurePod.Please do rate, review, and share the podcast, we hear it helps other people find us!*Social Media:Naomi Sheldon: @NaomiSheldon1Anand Patel: @therealdranandRichard Gadd: @MrRichardGaddFollow us at @ThePleasurePod and visit us at www.thepleasurepodcast.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rachael Maddox is a trauma resolution educator, coach, and guide who’s helped hundreds of women and men resolve their sexual trauma and reclaim their pleasure, power, and wholeness. In this episode, I asked Rachael for some advice, on the healing process from experiencing sexual trauma. When we talk about trauma, there is no healing equation to say we’re healed. There isn’t a “one size fits all” answer to this question either. What matters is honouring your journey of healing, and reconnecting with your body and feelings. The content in this episode can be quite triggering, and so we suggest that you listen in a safe space, and also listen in stages if you need to take a break. We are so grateful to have @RachaelMaddox on the show and to be able to open up a dialogue for very tough but very necessary conversation. Please connect with us or Rachael should you have any further questions. http://rachaelmaddox.com https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rachaelmaddox/sex-after-trauma-lets-publish-this-book Insta @RachaelMaddox

Rachael Maddox is a trauma resolution educator, coach and guide. In this conversation, she shares with us her Map of Reclamation and a generous amount of psychobiological and theoretical information about what trauma really is. Rachael generously and gently takes us through 7 core trauma wounds, what the hyper- and hypo-araoused responses (ie: inner escalation or collapse) can look like, what a more regulated (grounded, calm, empowered) response might feel like, and how we can find our way back to health and wholeness. It's an excellent overview and there's so much value offered here in her model. Rachael includes Digital Isolation as a core trauma for our age and we explore the notion of re-villaging as one potential antidote. Naturally, since we're talking about trauma in general, it's very common to have specific, personal examples come to mind – likely some part of this will be very relatable for most people. Remember to go slow: it takes the body a little while to metabolize this kind of information. Press pause, take breaks, fast forward. Listen to your body as you listen to our voices. And remember that we're real people. You can always book in with either of us if something comes up that you'd like to explore. If you'd like to go deeper with Rachael, she has a free video series called Becoming A Grown Goddess that includes topics like Trauma 101, Boundaries & Belonging, Sex After Trauma, and more.

This conversation may only change your life a little bit, but it will definitely be powerful. It changed something for me and I was the one interviewing her.  This is something every single woman needs to know and was by far one of my favorite conversations ever. I had Rachael on my podcast earlier this year and she continues to blow me away with her fierce, yet gentle and sensual spirit.  She's bringing a very important message to the women of the world: sex after trauma.  Many women that I speak to or work with in my courses or coaching have experienced some kind of trauma, myself included. It can be scary to think about having sex or experiencing pleasure (both sensual and sexual) after experiencing some kind of traumatic event, regardless of who or what caused the trauma.  Rachael shared so beautifully in this conversation and I found myself being opened, encouraged and invited to see things with a new perspective. I could literally feel some of my deep wounds and old beliefs coming to light as we were talking.  A few ancient pieces snapped into place within me as we went deeper into our discussion around sexual trauma and why sex after trauma is such a key piece in a woman's erotic and sensual journey. You're definitely not going to want to miss this episode. I was surprised and delighted so much throughout this conversation and I felt my heart opening in new ways that can only happen when you allow yourself to be held in the love of a woman who has been there.  In this podcast episode Rachael and I discuss: Signs that you may be experiencing sexual trauma in your body Why she's focusing on sex after trauma  How to begin experiencing sex & pleasure again after trauma What a sexual shadow is (I was totally surprised & blown away by Rachael's share) How to practice saying no to reduce anxiety in the bedroom & life (Rachael leads me through a rather vulnerable, but super powerful practice) And soooo much more!

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.

After a sexual trauma, whether recent or not, a satisfying sexual relationship can be difficult to recover for a women.
