40. The Trauma Queen

*Note: This episode was done during the era when this podcast used to be called The Sexually Liberated Woman. Ev’Yan chats with comprehensive sex educator and trauma expert, Jimanekia Eborn, about sexual trauma and healing. Jimanekia speaks truth about the ways trauma shows up in our lives, the importance of knowing your triggers, and how to find compassion for yourself as you respond to being triggered. The advice in this conversation gives the healing and affirmation everyone needs—no matter where you are in your sexual liberation journey. Other things they discuss: Jimanekia’s personal journey to becoming a sex educator and trauma expert; how to adequately support survivors as both a friend and a lover; the difference between an accomplice and an ally; and some words of encouragement and love to survivors that will provoke healing.
