My Story, Part One: Healing from Sexual Abuse

Love, Evolved with Leigh-Anne LoPinto: Conscious Relationships

This is the most public I have ever been about my story.
[Note: I don't get into details of the abuse, but rather focus on the negative affects I faced as a result, and the approach I took to heal. This is a fairly easy listen, so please dive in.]
I have learned that a dual approach to healing is required - working both psychologically and energetically - and share why.
Sexual abuse is a major challenge we are facing collectively, and in order to heal, we need to speak openly and honestly, remove the shame, and get to work.
The energy behind this is a predator that seeks to control and manipulate in order to gain power. Once you understand this, it gives you a much more complete picture of how to address it.
In this episode, I share:
- How the negative impacts of abuse showed up in my life, both psychologically and energetically
- Dealing with social anxiety, poor boundaries, low self worth, sexual shame, promiscuity, distrust of men, internalized misogyny, and major drug and alcohol abuse
- How a history of this kind of abuse can create love and sex addictions
- The story of my last major partnership and how the energy was working behind the scenes to destroy things
- How healing needs to include a psychological approach in addition to an energetic approach, and what that looks like
