Figuring Out Sexuality After Sexual Trauma (with Kathryn Gallagher)

The talented Kathryn Gallagher joins Mal for a chat this week - in the woods of Connecticut! Kathryn and Mal discuss the pressures faced by young women who grow up in a world where winning the affection of men is the ultimate goal - and how that affected their ability to recognize their sexuality. The conversation dives into difficult topics such as overcoming sexual trauma and unwanted encounters with men, but emphasizes the importance of facing and healing from your past.
