The Moms and Martinis podcast is a biweekly listen into the kitchen table talk between the host, Kira, and her friends. Kira, mom of four, from Atlanta, Georgia, invites you to witness candid moments in her life, as she tries new things and go new places; all while becoming a better person and mother, and keeping her mental health in check.In this week's episode, Kira is joined at the table with Katrina to discuss intimacy after experiencing sexual trauma. They discussed the psychological impacts of sexual trauma and how it caused them to push away from significant others, how they felt their body was not theirs, the distorting views of people and over-sexualizing intent, the impacts of rehearsing the abuse during intimacy and exhibiting anxiety symptoms, and how did they process the sexual trauma? They also discussed dating and relationship. They expressed how their trauma has impacted their willingness to explore new ways to be sexually intimate, the development of unhealthy sexual habits at a young age, reliving the traumatic experience if their significant other is forceful and how certain actions may stare them. Also, the ladies discussed how these experiences has impacted their mother-child relationship, if they found themselves being overly attached to your children, and provided advice to parents with a child that has experienced sexual trauma. Support Our Sponsor:It's never been easier to record, publish, and distribute a podcast.
