    EP 6. Sexual Abuse & Emotional Connection

    Sexual Abuse + Emotional Connection Some wounds don’t stay in the past. Childhood trauma, especially sexual abuse, can quietly shape the way we trust, connect, communicate, and experience intimacy in marriage. In this deeply personal episode, IV shares his own story of surviving sexual abuse as a child and the journey of healing that followed. Together, IV and Bené discuss how unresolved pain can impact emotional connection, vulnerability, and intimacy in a marriage, and why healing is possible. Through honesty, compassion, and practical insight, they explore what it looks like to face the past, break unhealthy patterns, and intentionally rebuild trust and connection within a relationship. This conversation is for anyone who has experienced trauma, loves someone who has, or desires a deeper understanding of how healing and emotional intimacy can work together to strengthen a marriage. While this episode centers on the context of marriage, it also offers hope and perspective for singles who want to pursue healing and wholeness before stepping into a future relationship.
