This week on Trauma, Tea, and Tangents, we’re pouring a strong cup and diving headfirst into one of the most avoided yet deeply important conversations: sex and sexual trauma. Sex is often cloaked in silence—especially when trauma is involved—but we’re here to unpack the many faces of sexual trauma, how it shows up in our lives, and most importantly, how we can begin to heal from it.
Joining us for this raw and real convo is Esme Valette, licensed sex therapist and fierce advocate for trauma-informed sex education. Esme opens up about her experience working with survivors, the practical tactics she uses with clients, and how to reclaim intimacy at your own pace. Expect wisdom, vulnerability, and a few healing tangents along the way.
