Sexual trauma leaves more than emotional scars; it can reshape how your body responds to touch, intimacy, and even everyday sensations. This is especially true for women who’ve historically faced stigma and silence around their experiences.
💡 Science Insight: Research in neurobiology shows trauma can alter the stress response systems, making the pelvic floor muscles tense or overactive as a protective mechanism. Over time, this can lead to discomfort, pain, or difficulty experiencing pleasure.
What helps?
Trauma-informed pelvic health therapy
Somatic practices like mindful breathing and gentle stretches
Compassionate, shame-free conversations about s*xual well-being
This International Women’s Day, let’s acknowledge survivors’ strength and encourage open dialogue about healing and reclamation. You’re not alone, and your body can learn to feel safe again. 🌸
