Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LAMFT
If sexual abuse is a part of your story, it's quite common that it might surface within your intimate relationship as trauma symptoms. Often times, this might include complete withdrawal from sexual interaction, avoidance of sex, avoidance of vulnerability or emotional intimacy, dissociation, panic, anxiety surrounding sex, or even hyper sexuality or compulsive sexual activity. Sexual trauma that has not been processed can interrupt a couple's intimacy in a variety of ways. Couple therapy can help to resource some psycho education surrounding your relationship dynamic and how trauma may be impacting it, as well as resource strategies of working through and beyond the trauma into safe connection at your pace. Sexual abuse can already feel so isolating and difficult to carry one your own, so let's create the conditions necessary for your to feel supported and cared for so that you and your partner can reclaim intimacy, sexuality, and vulnerability in a way that feels safe for you both.

Dr. Adam Shafer
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
When the foundation of trust shaken (if not feeling broken) through experiences of trauma, the approach to restoring one's life must always be one of sensitivity, patience, and compassion. Without this, there will always be a risk that it will never feel safe enough to heal.
