Navigating Healing after Sexual Trauma

"1 out of every 6 American women has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape in her lifetime while only 25 out of every 1,000 rapists will end up in prison."

Welcome back to another episode of Chronicles of a Virgo Podcast. In light on Sexual Assault Awareness month, I will be delving into some raw parts of my healing journey and speaking on some lessons and realizations I learned along the way.

In this episode, I discuss:

-How acknowledging my pain and hurt from my sexual trauma enhanced my healing journey

-The benefits that addressing my sexual trauma in therapy had on my life and the main lessons that I learned along the way

-The process of self-forgiveness and learning to forgive my abuser and how it helped my healing

-Encouragement and words of affirmation for other survivors or anyone else carrying a heavy load or experiencing bumps in the road

Opening up about my own personal experiences with Sexual Abuse has been both scary and empowering as I found different ways to navigate my past and the impact it had on my life. This episode serves as a testament to the resilience of my human self and the transformative power of facing our deepest wounds with courage and compassion.

To other victims of trauma and abuse, please know that I see you! I support you and I love you! Together, we will continue to navigate the depths of our healing and step by step reclaim our voice and stand in our power.
