This week in The Labia Lounge I had Charna Cassell on to talk about all things sexual trauma and shame. Charna is an LMFT, and a Trauma-Trained Psychotherapist and Sexuality Coach who helps people heal, connect, and find pleasure in their bodies

We discuss what constitutes sexual trauma, how it presents in our lives and bodies, the nuances behind the actual word 'trauma' and how it can be over-used, how sexual shame comes to effect us and live inside of us, how to overcome the crippling effects of these in our sex lives, the mind-body connection and how we can release shame and trauma from our tissues, and so much more!

Charna is deeply knowledgeable and articulate so there's loads of value in this one, folks!


Plus you can expect all the usual antics and hilarious, vulnerable n' relatable personal stories and signature segments that you've come to know and love here in The Labia Lounge!
