Sexual trauma doesn’t just live in memory. It lives in the body. In this episode, I’m joined by licensed marriage and family therapist Beth Dilla Nelson for a deeply honest conversation about how sexual trauma and sexual shame shape the way women experience their bodies, desire, intimacy, and relationships long after the original experience.We talk about why so many strong, capable women carry this quietly for decades, how cultural and religious programming compounds shame, and what healing actually looks like when the goal isn’t fixing yourself.
