Have you ever been deeply hurt ? Have you ever experienced emotional trauma? Have you ever seen something that changed your earthly life forever? Have you witnessed or experienced intense sexual pain? I ask you these questions because these experiences will show up in the bedroom. For years I completely numbed myself from feeling pleasure. The first few years of my life were the scariest years of my life. My mother, who I love and forgive, was married to an abusive alcoholic. There was constant fighting and intense physical abuse in our home. These are the years that we discover our sense of self. What I discovered in these moments forever changed my life. I am now 40 and some of these emotions still arise. If the first man in our life was a man that completely terrified us then it is really hard to allow ourselves to be vulnerable with any man. We can be kind of vulnerable but we never will fully allow our guard to be released until we allow ourselves to trust again. Here are 3 steps we can take to break down the guarded gate and start receiving the pleasure we deserve.
Sex in marriage is what you make of it. You can choose to shut down and close shop or you can choose to feel through the pain and get to the pleasure. We must feel all our emotions so we can experience the pleasure that is our birthright. Start your journey today. Reach out to me as I love working with people on their healing journey.

What if the trauma is a result of your spouse? I recently realized my intimacy issues stem from our wedding night...our first time. It was horrible and traumatic. I was scared and not ready for that next step. My husband forced it anyway. It hurt. I was sobbing. I imagine that's probably how it feels to be raped. I was raped on my wedding night. How do I get over this? It has plagued our sex life for 23 years and I didn't even realize it until yesterday. How do I forgive him for doing this to me? More than half of our intimate experiences involve me having a conversation with myself. One side of me doesn't want him to touch me and I cringe as I let him. The other says it's ok because he's your husband and he loves you. Please help...

First off, I wanted to thank you for being so open and allowing yourself to be vulnerable. I can only imagine the intense pain you have carried around for so many years. It is truly amazing that you are facing this and leaning into the emotional pain. Anytime we are forced to have sex when we are not ready to, no matter how long we have been with a man, or if we just barely said I do, is considered forced. This would absolutely create so much pain. Anytime there is sexual trauma of any sort this emotion is always felt during sex until we fully feel the emotion of it and experience the release of carrying around this baggage. I am so very sorry that you experienced this. This can be healed. Maybe you will forgive your husband and maybe you won't but you get to heal for your own sake and your own womanhood. If you are open to it I would love to schedule a time to connect via phone. This would be just a beautiful discussion between two beautiful soul sisters. Let me know!
