2.09: Healthy Intimacy After Abuse - Part 2

Smart Talks

Building off of last week's episode, Wendy Maltz, a leading expert on sexual healing from sexual abuse, returns and explains more in-depth the ways that survivors of abuse can have meaningful sexual relationships. The discussion includes addressing triggers during sex, regaining a sense of control over one's sexuality, unwanted sexual fantasies, and more.
For the next few episodes, Smart Talks will focus on healing sexuality after abuse. Whether you are a survivor, a partner of a survivor, or someone who simply wants to learn more, we hope these episodes provide you with new tools and resources. Please note that these discussions may be triggering for some survivors; listener discretion is advised.
