Healing Our Relationship to Sex After a Traumatic Birth | A Raw Conversation

How do you ravish a mother?

In this vulnerable conversation, Lisa and I share our experiences coming back to our sex lives after a traumatic birth.

I strongly suspect that feeling shut down sexually after giving birth, especially  a traumatic one, is something that is way more common than is openly discussed.

The reasons can be myriad. Our relationship to our bodies change, our very identity changes, some of us have complicated physical healing to do, and many of us have experienced medical rape or assault during the birth process, just to name a few. Coming back into right relationship with our sexuality is coming back into right relationship with ourselves, and is such an important piece of the healing journey.

Thank you Lisa for getting so vulnerable and raw with me! You can find Lisa on Instagram @thewomanssanctum and at www.thewomanssanctum.com
