In this thought-provoking podcast episode, join us as we dive deep into the fascinating world of intersecting conservative religious upbringings and sexuality. Our special guest, Natasha Helfer, an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist/Supervisor and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, shares her wealth of knowledge and nearly 30 years of experience in this dynamic field.
Natasha's expertise lies in deconstructing internalized sexual shame, offering invaluable insights into how individuals can overcome societal and religious pressures to embrace their authentic sexual selves. Through her group practice, she has helped countless people heal from religious trauma, navigate mixed-faith relationships, and embark on empowering journeys of self-discovery.
In this candid conversation, we explore the challenges faced by individuals who have grown up in conservative religious environments and the impact it has on their sexuality and relationships. Natasha provides practical advice and strategies for therapists and viewers alike, shedding light on the delicate balance between faith, personal growth, and sexual liberation.
Furthermore, Natasha opens up about her own personal journey, sharing how her advocacy for sexual health led to her excommunication from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon church) in 2021. Her firsthand experiences infuse the discussion with raw authenticity, inspiring listeners to challenge societal norms and foster greater understanding and acceptance.
Whether you're a fellow therapist seeking professional insights or an individual looking to embrace your true sexual self while honoring your religious background, this episode is a must-listen. Join us as we break down barriers, challenge outdated beliefs, and embark on a journey towards sexual liberation.
