Sexual abuse and your body's natural response to sexual stimulation

Episode Description:

In this video, I’m addressing a sensitive but important topic: the natural physiological response of orgasm during sexual abuse. Many survivors feel deep shame around this, but it's crucial to understand that it's a normal bodily reaction, not an indication of desire or consent. 

I share why it's important to release the guilt and shame associated with this response, and how doing so can help you move forward in your healing journey.

Episode Notes:

  • Peggy addresses the natural and normal physiological response of orgasm during sexual stimulation, even in abusive situations.
  • Survivors of abuse often feel shame about this response due to the stigma, which can lead to isolation.
  • Experiencing an orgasm during abuse doesn't mean it was wanted or liked; it's simply the body responding as it was designed to.
  • Shame can interfere with healthy sexual experiences in adulthood, preventing full emotional and physical connection.
  • It's important to forgive oneself and let go of shame to move forward and experience the sexual pleasure one deserves.
