TOP #1: How To Heal From Sexual Trauma

TOP #1: How To Heal From Sexual Trauma

DISCLAIMER: We talk about sexual assault and the traumatic effects of it. Please use discretion before listening.

When sexual assault happens, whether if it is one incident or repeated over a long time, how do you heal afterwards?

What if you don't know the details of the assault?

Do you fear you're 'just being dramatic'?

I have great news for you: You are able to heal from trauma and the lies that may come with it even if you do not know the details of the traumatic event(s).

In many ways, healing through trauma can feel unfair. You may feel like it is a debt you've been given and now it is your responsibility to figure out how to heal from it. Jody Goldie (yes, that is her real name) is a therapist who works with people who suffer from complex trauma.

She shares her own personal experience and puts language to the confusing messages your body may be telling you after it experiences trauma. Your body remembers what happened to you, even if your brain cannot piece a story together.

Your future does not have to look like your past.
