Trauma is normal. It happens to everyone. Please consider that specific traumas may be mentioned below that could be triggering. Do not read if you are sensitive to those triggers and unsupported.

Consent is a critical subject in regards our internal family system and our sexuality. Our many different parts have different needs, wants and boundaries. Self-leadership is about developing relationship with all our parts, learning to hear from the quieter voices and to lead or negotiate for experiences on behalf of all of our parts.

Because many people rarely talk about their Sex and most of us are carrying the weight of cultural sexual shame or repression, lineage burdens, the effects of secrecy, mis-education or no education at all, we often fail to realise that it's really normal to experience challenges with Sex. These challenges can be physical, emotional, cognitive or spiritual in nature.

Healthy relationships show reciprocity, equality, mutual understanding, compassion, trust, shared maps of each other’s world, positive regard, nurture, commitment, allowance for difference and a capacity to touch and be touched.

Healing is defined as:

• The restoration of a sense of meaning, purpose, sense of self, and quality of life, despite struggles with the illness.
• The process or period of gradually regaining one's health and strength.

For me I see healing as a process of regaining psychological and physical integrity after there has been hurt, damage or scarring.
