Sex, Purity Culture, & LGBTQ+ Issues

What can I do about it?

Meeting with a therapist can be incredibly helpful in moving through this kind of hurt, and working towards having an integrated and healthy relationship with your body and sex. If you are interested in meeting together, or talking more about what the therapy process could look like, reach out to me through the contact page.

What is it?

From over-prioritizing sexual purity, to the oppression of the LGBTQ+ community, to silencing victims of sexual abuse, the Church has often been a source of pain and trauma when it comes to sex and sexuality. For some, it may be seemingly small things that piled up, while for others their sexuality has led to total exile from their faith community, but regardless of the circumstances, sexual issues are often shrouded in secrecy, confusion, and shame. My hope when working with these issues is to always come at them gently and with compassion, and to bring light and understanding to what you are feeling emotionally as well as within your body to move towards health and healing.
