Dr. Holly Richmond, author of Reclaiming Pleasure: A Sex-Positive Guide for moving past sexual trauma and living a passionate life joins us to address the following questions: How is helping survivors reclaim pleasure critical at this time in history? How is pleasure an oppositional construct to survivorship? What are some of the hidden wounds of sexual trauma? What are we still reticent to talk about? How are survivors being retraumatized by what’s happening politically and culturally at this moment in history? What can we do about it? How can survivors create a social declaration to help make systemic changes?
