How To Heal From Sexual Trauma - Lyn Smith & Lois Wagner

WARNING - This episode contains strong themes of an adult nature. Please be advised

This week, Lyn is joined by transformational coach and “friend for forgiveness” Lois Wagner, they discuss the ways in which we can heal the wounds caused by sexual trauma, and move forward to a new, brighter future...

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Forgiveness is not about helping the perpetrator to release any shame or guilt, it's about allowing the survivor to heal and release any bottled up negative emotions, so that they can take their power back, move on and live a successful life.
• It’s natural to feel some desire for vengence against those who do us wrong, but the real power comes in absolution and trusting that the Universe will deliver it's own justice on our perpetrators in their lifetime. 
• Seeking external help is not a sign of weakness, but of power. By being vulnerable and having the courage to speak out about our trauma, we let go of the weight on our shoulders and begin rapidly accelerating the healing process.
• The first stage of releasing any negative feelings is to safely express them in any way you can. Talk to someone, write about them, or even express them in some kind of art / craft / physical activity.

BEST MOMENTS

‘You need to break that bond’

‘Nothing triggers me back into that negative mode’

‘As you move on, you find your resilience’

‘You have to find the way that works for you’
