S4E7 Sexual Trauma

Welcome to Season 4 of Being Known Podcast where we are looking at trauma through the lens of hope and not fear.  This week we are looking at the sensitive, hard and beautiful topic of sexual trauma.   What is it about sex that seems to make everything – especially trauma – so much more difficult?  Moreover, how is sexual trauma so much more debilitating than some other forms of our topic?  No matter how much we would like to wish otherwise, there is just no getting around the fact that few things shatter lives more than the events of trauma that surround our sexuality.    This week we wade into this sensitive – and beautiful – topic. It’s sensitive because it addresses the parts of what it means to be most fragile as human beings.  And beautiful because it addresses those same parts from which our greatest vulnerability and generativity spring forth.   If your story is being told through the lens of sexual trauma, Jesus is at the ready to meet you to make sure you begin to tell your story very differently.   Links and References Healing the Wounded Heart: The Heartache of Sexual Trauma and the Hope of Transformation by Dan Allender The Chosen: Season 1 Episode 1   Scripture References Genesis 1:25 Genesis 3     You can now sign up to have access to Being Known Podcast applications, the weekly exercise that connects what you are learning to your life in a practical way.  Scroll to the bottom of the page to sign up (not the pop-up).   As always, we invite you to stay connected with us via social media and YouTube: Instagram Facebook Twitter YouTube (where we post the unedited videos of each episodes AND the post show conversations.)     And of course, we invite you to subscribe to the podcast so you never miss an episode and welcome your reviews on Apple Podcasts.
