12 Episode - Sexual Trauma: The Connection to Chronic Pain, Illness, and Sexual Behavior

If you’re noticing symptoms like low libido, headaches, autoimmune flare-ups, reproductive problems, vaginal pain, erectile dysfunction, skin issues, chronic fatigue, or pain that moves or has no clear cause—this episode is for you. If you shut down during intimacy, dissociate during sex, feel numb in your body, emotionally disconnected from your partner, or stuck in painful relationship patterns, what you may be experiencing is your brain expressing past sexual imprints—recordings it made during earlier experiences, many of which you may not even consciously remember. Whether it was direct sexual abuse, unwanted touch, inappropriate interactions with siblings or peers, exposure to porn at a young age, or even subtle conditioning like being shamed for your body or punished for showing curiosity—the brain captures those moments. Once the brain records an experience, it doesn’t always store it as a conscious memory—it expresses it through behaviors, physical symptoms, and emotional reactions. That’s why many people feel confused by chronic pain, shutdown responses, or compulsions they can’t explain—because the brain is still responding to past events, even when they’re not consciously remembered. In this episode of The Robert Gene Experience, cohost Crystal Derksen and host Robert Gene, explore how your earliest experiences with sexuality—including things you didn’t realize “counted”—may be shaping your health, your relationships, and your sense of self. We talk about disgust, shame, guilt, and how those emotions are expressed in the body as pain, withdrawal, or even hatred toward your own body. Robert Gene is a behavioral engineer, neuroplastician, drug rehab consultant, and the creator of eutaptics® FasterEFT™, a powerful modality for releasing the brain’s imprints of stress, trauma, and unwanted patterns.
