    Sex Trauma Ep. 11 - Get Your Story Right
    Aug 21 2023
    To get your story right is to regain your power internally. Whether we are conscious of it or not, our internal narratives significantly influence how we perceive ourselves. If we identify as victims, we will continue to feel like victims, even if we outwardly project toughness and authority. Once we believe in the potential for healing, the next step is to correct the narratives we tell ourselves about the abusive events, disentangling them from our identity and self-worth.

  • Sex Trauma Ep. 5: Child marriage & Premature Exposure to Sexual Content

    Sex Trauma Ep. 5: Child marriage & Premature Exposure to Sexual Content
    Jul 10 2023
    Join host Liza Chuma in this eye-opening episode of the podcast as she delves into the lesser-known yet profoundly damaging forms of sexual abuse: child marriage and premature exposure to sexual content. In a world where culture sometimes endorses child marriage and the consequences of exposing children to explicit material may not be immediately apparent, Liza sheds light on the hidden dangers that these practices pose. Liza courageously examines how child marriage, disguised as a cultural norm in some communities, robs children of their innocence and subjects them to the lifelong repercussions of early sexual involvement. She dissects the devastating impact on a child's biology as their bodies are thrust into a realm they are ill-equipped to handle, leaving them vulnerable to infections and long-term health issues. Moreover, Liza exposes the insidious consequences of premature exposure to sexual content on impressionable young minds. She highlights how overexposure to explicit material leads to the traumatization of children, subjecting them to social vices far beyond their developmental capacity. This exposure paves the way for the manifestation of sexual addictions, misaligned sexual body language that inadvertently attracts predators, and a host of other detrimental outcomes. Tune in to this critical episode to gain a deeper understanding of how our actions, however unintentional, may unknowingly contribute to the sexual traumatization of children. Through insightful discussions, Liza invites listeners to reflect on their own behaviors and beliefs, fostering a collective awareness that can break the cycle of harm and protect the innocence of our youngest generation. By unraveling the silent perils of child marriage and premature exposure to sexual content, Liza Chuma challenges societal norms and calls for change. Together, we can empower ourselves with knowledge, actively combat these forms of sexual abuse, and create a safer, more nurturing environment for children to thrive. Content Warning: This episode of the podcast discusses sensitive and distressing topics related to child marriage and premature exposure to sexual content. Listener discretion is advised.
