In the aftermath of sexual trauma, reclaiming one’s sexuality is a journey marked not by haste but by patience, understanding, and self-care. It’s about acknowledging the natural complexities that surface in intimacy post-trauma and seeking compassionate guidance to illuminate the path to healing. It involves a gentle rediscovery of personal desires and boundaries, a process that’s both empowering and affirming.
