Sexual Trauma
Sexual trauma can take many forms.
It may include experiences such as unwanted sexual contact, coercion, pressure, boundary violations, assault, abuse, or situations where consent was unclear, absent, or ignored.
It can happen once or repeatedly.
It can happen in relationships, within families, or with strangers.
If something felt confusing, violating, overwhelming, or left you feeling unsafe in your body — your experience matters.
Sexual trauma can affect people in many different ways, and there is no single or “right” response.
Some people notice changes in their relationship to their body, such as feeling disconnected, tense, numb, or constantly on alert. Others experience difficulties with boundaries, touch, intimacy, or closeness, even with people they trust.
Emotional responses can include anxiety, shame, sadness, irritability, or a sense of being overwhelmed without knowing why. For some, sleep becomes restless accompanied by nightmares, concentration becomes difficult, or the nervous system feels stuck in a state of tension or exhaustion.
You might also notice patterns such as people-pleasing, self-doubt, emotional withdrawal, or a loss of connection to joy and creativity.
These responses are not signs of weakness or failure.
They are understandable reactions of a nervous system that has learned to protect itself.
Who This Is For
