Healing Wounds from Sexual Shame

Episode 75: Healing Wounds from Sexual Shame

June 20, 20222 min read

This week’s topic is one that I address all the time in my coaching work with clients, in my emails, and right here on the podcast. It’s something I’ve brought up over and over again, and it’s a subject worth repeating and talking about in various ways. 

So many people are hurting, wounded, and suffering in silence from sexual shame. More and more people seem to be having a difficult time quitting viewing pornography and generally coming to terms with their sexuality, whether it be having sexual experiences with their spouse, or experiencing an urge while they’re out and about. Instead of this being normalized, too often, we’re told we need to be fearful of potentially slipping up.

These wounds are painful and harmful, and they aren’t necessary. If this is you, know that you deserve healing from that. In this week’s episode, I’m showing you how to become aware of the stories that are fueling your sexual shame, and how to start healing your relationship with your sexuality.
