Manage episode 477704075 series 3657458
⚠️ Trigger Warning:
This episode contains discussion of sexual trauma, bodily responses during abuse, and the emotional impact of shame and guilt. Please listen with care. If at any point you need to pause, take a breath, or return later — honor that. Your healing matters, and you deserve to move at your own pace.
Hey sis,
This episode is one we don’t talk about enough, but it’s one so many of us need to hear.
In today’s conversation on Xpose H.E.R., we’re unpacking the confusion and guilt that can follow sexual trauma — especially when your body responds in ways you didn’t want, didn’t expect, and didn’t ask for. Emotional and sexual intimacy can get complicated when shame and guilt enter the picture, especially when the experience includes someone you trusted or cared about.
If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Why did my body respond that way?” or felt ashamed because your experience didn’t fit the narrative of what abuse is “supposed” to look like — this episode speaks to you. We are not afraid to talk about the parts of trauma that are hidden in silence. And here, you don’t have to carry the shame alone.
In this episode, we’ll explore:
🌿The guilt and confusion that often accompany trauma responses
🌿How emotional and sexual intimacy are impacted by shame
🌿The truth about your body’s responses — and why they don’t define your worth
🌿Tools for reclaiming your voice, your body, and your sense of connection
Sis, you deserve to heal with clarity and compassion.
