How do past traumas shape our relationship with our own sexuality? In this heartfelt episode of the 'Narcissism Recovery Podcast', Yitz Epstein dives into the sensitive topic of sexual wounds. These wounds can distort our body image, sense of sexuality, and overall comfort with exploring sexual identity.
