About this episode
In this segment from episode Starting The Conversation Around Sexual Anorexia, we begin with what looks like a familiar path—trauma responses—but quickly uncover a deeper, more insidious truth: how intimacy, when distorted by early harm, can turn into a war zone. Janet's story isn't just about survival. It's about expectation, submission, and the silent cultural scripts many women are forced to internalize about marriage, sex, and safety.
