    139: Woman-to-Woman Sexual Assault: Healing from Betrayal & Exploring Workplace Grooming

    In this episode, I address the rarely discussed topic of woman-to-woman sexual assault. I respond to a listener who shares her story of being sexually assaulted by a coworker she trusted and saw as a close friend and mentor. We explore the painful reality that sharing a similar cultural background does not guarantee safety. I also explain what grooming looks, discuss workplace grooming, and outline key characteristics. Throughout, we discuss the complex feelings of broken trust, self-blame, and the unique grief when harm comes from someone familiar. As a rape survivor myself, I emphasize the importance of releasing self-blame — if you’ve experienced sexual violence, it is not your fault. While everyone’s healing journey is different, I offer guidance and advice on how to begin moving forward. I also share a poem. Please listen at your own pace. If you are a survivor, know you are not alone and healing is possible. Sending you all my love. 🔗 Resources & Show Notes: newviewadvice.com/139 ❤️ Sexual Trauma Healing Hub: https://www.newviewadvice.com/healing-sexual-trauma ✍️ Poem Shared in this Episode: https://www.newviewadvice.com/poems-for-the-healing-journey/do-you-live-with-regrets-poem I am no longer accepting new questions for the podcast, but if you’d like to reach out, you can still email me at newviewadvice@gmail.com.

    In this episode, I respond to a listener struggling with limerence and intense infatuation for their best friend—a love that feels impossible and is tangled with self-hate, shame, and depression. We dive into the power of self-love, self-compassion, and curiosity, offering practical guidance for anyone caught in obsessive thoughts or fantasies. Together, we explore why our minds turn to fantasy and limerence, especially when past trauma and grief remain unresolved.
