What this book knows
Sexual wounding—abuse, betrayal, shame—fractures intimacy, and healing requires naming the damage within a Christian framework of embodied wholeness.
religion-and-sex
He loved God and really wanted the best for all of us. I trusted him… the other pastor frequently invited me to his office and talked to me about sexual things.
LSC-001trauma-and-survival
It has made me question my sexual identity… I sometimes wonder if I fooled around so much with boys and men to prove to myself I wasn't gay.
LSC-002I started to sober up and they wouldn't stop. I beg…
LSC-003My husband left me because he said I never want him anymore… I don't even know how to relate to a real man anymore. I am dying inside. Numb.
LSC-009shame
I have stretch marks from three babies… I don't feel sexy. If I was I would have been enough and you wouldn't have needed porn or that one-night stand.
LSC-004Sex feels so vulnerable—I don't want to be that vulnerable with James. It felt humiliating when he did finally leave, and I felt so alone, abandoned.
