Episode Details

We name the rage that has no clean target, the anger that turns inward toward your own body after sexual trauma. We unpack why your body responded the way it did and how healing can begin with safety, ownership, and a small ceasefire instead of forced body love.

I discuss: 
• the difference between rage at an abuser and rage at your body 
• freeze response as a survival mechanism rather than consent 
• physical arousal during assault as reflex and non-concordance 
• dissociation as protection and what it can feel like 
• chronic symptoms and illness as trauma living in the body 
• medical system dismissal and the rage of self-advocacy 
• body size changes as subconscious protection and visibility triggers 
• intimacy challenges, stepping back from sex, and bodily sovereignty 
• why safety in the body matters more than body positivity 
• listening to symptoms as communication rather than accusation
