26- Trauma, Sexuality, and Love with Lindsay Gibson

>>DISCLAIMER: My guest, Lindsay Gibson, shares her violent sexual assault story on the podcast today. If you do NOT want to hear her story or it will be triggering to you, please fast forward first 15 minutes.<< For many of us who struggle with food and our bodies, trauma- whether big or small- is likely a part of our story. Even if you think that your childhood wasn't "that bad" or nothing "really traumatic" happened to you, you may be surprised to know how much we internalize from traumatic moments. In fact, trauma is not defined by the severity of the event, but by the severity of the impact on the individual. In today's episode, I talk with my dear friend, Lindsay Gibson- author, speaker, trauma and maternal mental health advocate, and devoted mother.  We discuss: Lindsay's violent sexual assault at 16 years old and her journey through PTSD and recovery What we need to know about trauma and PTSD How MOST of us likely have experienced some form of trauma How Lindsay's trauma affected her relationship with food and her body How to validate your trauma story How a delayed onset response to trauma can be protective Body dysmorphia and trauma How trauma can affect marriage and our sexuality What effects of trauma can look like in relationships and marriage The role of grace, forgiveness, and love in healing and so much more!
