LFPWLI: Surviving Childhood Sexual Abuse, Setting Boundaries, and Fixing Your Picker with Lucy Alvarez

In this episode, Mathew, Dr. Frank, and Lucy discuss childhood sexual abuse, the importance of setting boundaries, and understanding what is appropriate. They also discuss what it means to lose sight of your "picker" and the negative impacts of letting the wrong people into your life, both platonically and romantically. Lucy speaks on the flip side of that as well and talks about  how choosing the right romantic partner can have many benefits, including improved orgasms you may not have even known were possible.

Lucy Alvarez is a first-generation American citizen and native of Phoenix, Arizona. She is also a survivor of childhood sexual abuse. She tells us she doesn't feel like she is fully on the other side of her trauma, but that she is still working every day to walk in the right direction. Lucy has traveled the world, overcome so much in her life, and is now passionate about sharing her story to help others understand how to set boundaries and be the best version of themselves, even when it gets hard.

"I do it for my eight-year-old self."

In this episode, you'll hear:

  • Understanding what is appropriate and setting boundaries
  • What happens in the bedroom when you're with the right person?
  • How to know if you've lost sight of your "picker"
