Trauma-Informed Sex Therapy: Treating Intimacy, Desire, and Connection

Clients rarely walk in naming trauma as the reason intimacy feels hard. They come in talking about desire that has gone quiet, sex that hurts, avoidance they cannot explain, or a sense of disconnection from their own body. Underneath those concerns, unresolved trauma is often doing quiet work.

Join board-certified sexologist and psychotherapist Dr. Tammy Nelson for a clinically grounded conversation about treating sexual concerns through a trauma-informed lens, where the goal is not to fix a dysfunction but to understand the body's responses as adaptations that once kept the client safe.
