About this listen

If you have experienced sexual abuse, assault, harassment, or rape, you may feel disconnected from your sexual self—even if you've overcome the initial trauma. You are a survivor, but surviving is just the beginning.

Written by a psychologist and grounded in cutting-edge research, Reclaiming Pleasure picks up where other sexual trauma recovery books leave off. It offers practical tools to help you cultivate a sense of safety, security, and trust in order to reclaim the vitality, pleasure, and great sex you deserve. The book will also serve as your compass on a journey toward the rediscovery of desire, letting you explore what you want from others and for yourself.

This groundbreaking book will help you:

  • Understand the lasting mental, physical, sexual, and relational impacts of sexual trauma
  • Move beyond feelings of shame
  • Reclaim pleasure and reignite passion in your life

Surviving is merely the first step in the process of recovery. With this sex-positive and empowering guide, you are invited to take your recovery to the next level. You'll feel emboldened by the desire for better sex, healthier relationships, and a more connected, pleasurable life.

Great Resource

As a therapist I found a lot of great practical advice in this book which I intend to put into action helping my clients work towards healing from sexual trauma. The book does a great job of exploring the various symptoms resulting from trauma including anxiety around sex, shame, attachment issues, body issues, self esteem, etc. It also provides a number of actual activities designed to help survivors (and thrivers) process the events that happened, acknowledge the impact it has had on both their personal and relational development and satisfaction, and to help individuals - and by extension, couples - move past trauma to more fulfilling and enjoyable sex-lives.

Amazing Book for the Sexual Healing Journey

This book is a rare gem for me. So many books are geared only towards women who've survived sexual abuse or trauma. This one was much more inclusive and felt like a pep talk from a kind friend. I listened to the whole thing in one day and plan to go through it again and again. Already I feel more healed and clear on what I need to do to get my life back on track. I hope more people find this book and see this review because it is a great companion on your healing journey and I hope you are encouraged to get it!

Incredible and necessary for sexual assault survivors

Wow. This is the book I wish I had over 20 years ago but I’m glad I have it now. So much information, empathy, and validation in these pages! The exercises and actionable steps are priceless!
