Intimacy Invaded: When Past Sexual Trauma Invades Your Bedroom

Many survivors of sexual abuse report that they have flashbacks or dissociate during sex even though they love and trust their current partner.

If this is happening to you, please know that you are not alone AND there is help available for this.


Some survivors report that they had years of happy sex with their partner only to suddenly begin having flashbacks or dissociation for no discernable reason. Often they report this begins a few months after having a child, so hormones may be partially to blame, but once the problem starts they have difficulty shaking it.

How self-compassionate are you? Take the quiz.

At Online Counseling of Texas we specialize in treating this type of issue. Using EMDR or Brainspotting traumatic memories can be processed in just a few sessions. Once processed or filed away in the brain’s long term memory, the memories are no longer triggered by current situations.
