Trauma and Sex

Do previous traumatic experiences affect our current sex lives? Yes.

Whether in your past you experienced molestation, promiscuity, a religious upbringing, or multiple hurtful experiences around sexuality it all plays a part.

Whatever the issues are, Somatic Psychotherapy helps heal trauma in a way traditional therapy cannot.

The moments of overwhelm that get stored in our nervous systems live in our bodies and our actions.

For example, if you had a very promiscuous past and then met someone you wanted to stay faithful to, the neural pathway to reach out to a different lover is well entrenched in your body.

When similar emotional situations occur where you usually reach out for sex with a stranger, you now have to train your brain and nervous system to reach one person.

Somatic therapy with trauma therapy will help you get to the core of why your original behavior started.

You can then feel in your body the wounding and begin to heal it.

Once this is remedied, staying with one partner when life is stressful will be the new go-to pathway.

If you as a couple are experiencing sexual issues or as a single person you want to relate to sex differently, reach out.

The wounds from guilt, shame, ruptured boundaries can all be reexamined and healed.
