The Impact of Trauma on Women’s Sexual Wellness

Posted on by

Originally published on The Dr. Joe Show, this episode features Dr. Joe Malone and Valerie Harkins as they discuss the implications of trauma in regards to women’s sexual health and wellness. With an expertise in maternity housing, Valerie sheds light on how the wraparound care that maternity homes provide can help women to recognize that they have the option to raise their own children in an environment that is different than how they were raised, breaking the cycle of abuse and creating healthy attachments in future relationships.

Women’s Sexual Wellness – Dr. Joe Malone

Posted on by

Beth Diemert is joined by Dr. Joe Malone to discuss the term “Women’s Sexual Wellness” and how this type of education speaks directly to young women in today’s culture. Dr. Joe explains the research behind this cutting-edge information and the life-changing effect it can have on the women we serve.

Notes:

  • The results of the “hookup culture” have different affects on men vs women, and both are damaging to the way that bonding happens.
  • Terminology used in abstinence education over the years have changed as science has uncovered more about how sexual activity affects the brain.
  • Pregnancy centers have an opportunity to offer a positive approach to abstinence education that empowers women to make healthy choices based on scientific evidence to back up the Christian worldview of marriage.
