In part 3 of our Sex and Intimacy Series, host, Alicia Stickles, and licensed marriage and family therapist, Ashley Mossy, have a hard and needed conversation about how past sexual trauma can show up in marriage. They discuss misconceptions concerning the subject of sexual trauma by defining what sexual trauma is and isn't. They also talk about the ways past sexual trauma affects intimacy between a husband and a wife, and what to do about it. This life-giving conversation offers encouragement and direction for couples who have sexual trauma as a part of their story. Due to the mature subject matter, this episode should not be consumed while children are around.
