My Story, Part One: Healing from Sexual Abuse

This is the most public I have ever been about my story. [Note: I don't get into details of the abuse, but rather focus on the negative affects I faced as a result, and the approach I took to heal.  This is a fairly easy listen, so please dive in.]  I have learned that a dual approach to healing is required - working both psychologically and energetically - and share why.  Sexual abuse is a major challenge we are facing collectively, and in order to heal, we need to speak openly and honestly, remove the shame, and get to work.The energy behind this is a predator that seeks to control and manipulate in order to gain power.  Once you understand this, it gives you a much more complete picture of how to address it.In this episode, I share:- How the negative impacts of abuse showed up in my life, both psychologically and energetically- Dealing with social anxiety, poor boundaries, low self worth, sexual shame, promiscuity, distrust of men, internalized misogyny, and major drug and alcohol abuse- How a history of this kind of abuse can create love and sex addictions- The story of my last major partnership and how the energy was working behind the scenes to destroy things- How healing needs to include a psychological approach in addition to an energetic approach, and what that looks like- Tons of resources below:Sexual SovereigntyThe War on Love, Sex + RelationshipsBreathwork:- My intro video here.- Here is the first energy clearing breathwork. - This is the second audio that focuses on clearing the sexual abuse energy.Eve Lorgen - The Dark Side of CupidBernhard Guenther's articleHere for the TruthHealing - David Elliott (p 140-175)Energetic BoundariesConnect with Leigh-Anne below: THE VISIONARIES: My Community The Wayshowers: Mentorship Leigh-Anne's Instagram Leigh-Anne's Website Leigh-Anne's Substack Book a Free 30 Min Call I hope you enjoy this episode - please share it with anyone who might benefit!And, please rate, review, and subscribe if you find this podcast useful.
