Honoring Grief and Loss After Sexual Trauma: When Healing Feels Heavy | Neurodivergent Women
Description
Grief can rise when numbness finally softens, and that doesn’t mean we’re failing or sliding backward. We name the double grief of healing after sexual trauma and practice a slower, body-based way to carry the ache without turning recovery into a performance.
• grief as a sign of waking up, not regressing
• double grief after sexual trauma: what was taken and who we must become
• the “ever-present ache” as an echo of loss, not proof of brokenness
• why healing is not a checklist for high achievers and people pleasers
• five steps to stay with numbness: name, feel, compassion, breathe, permission
Work With Me Individually (Texas Residents)
I offer trauma-informed therapy for high-achieving women navigating:
• Complex trauma
