Trauma. Body. Sex. Three words that have haunted me for the past 8 years. I suffered from trauma 8 years ago, and it made me lose control of my body and my sexuality. It took me 8 years to gain that control back. Like a Phoenix, I rise from the ashes. When sexual trauma happens to someone, they often feel ashamed, lost and sad, This is for all the people who have suffered from trauma. We need to regain control of our bodies, and one day we will love our bodies again. Coming to terms with my sexuality, my body, and my trauma has helped me realize how important all are. I hope and believe that anyone who has suffered from trauma will rise from the ashes.
