This week, the girls get personal and discuss how trauma impacts healthy sex (even years later). From positions that bring up triggers to hating giving blow jobs, this Thought is a no-holds-barred account of working through sexual abuse and trauma. If this feels activating to you in any way, please reach out to the resources below and/or come back and listen to us next week instead.
