Hello, stroke warriors, care partners, and trauma survivors everywhere. This is Ralph Corteze with Stroke Warrior Radio, where we celebrate warriors achieving victories every day. Today, we're diving into a topic that touches many survivors and care partners but isn't discussed enough: intimacy, connection, and sexuality after stroke.

Joining us is Kris Hall, a trauma-informed coach who specializes in helping people rebuild body trust, emotional safety, and intimacy after trauma. Kris shares her personal journey of experiencing disconnection from her sexuality and how she transitioned from environmental engineering to become a sex coach focused on guiding individuals and couples to reconnect physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Kris explains what trauma-informed care means in the context of intimacy, emphasizing the importance of safety, compassion, and acknowledging the full spectrum of human emotions. She discusses how physical trauma like stroke or TBI impacts desire, body awareness, and confidence, and offers practical advice on redefining what sex means, focusing on small victories, and building confidence through gentle, step-by-step approaches.

We explore how to navigate loss of identity, develop new self-concepts, and foster trust within the body. Kris highlights the significance of body trust, safety, consent, and communication, providing insights into integrating intimacy beyond penetration and emphasizing that pleasure can be found in many forms.

If you're a survivor or care partner looking to rebuild intimacy and confidence after trauma, this episode offers valuable tools and perspectives. Kris offers resources, including a free 15-minute audio to help you start your own pleasure practice, and shares how her work can be accessed virtually worldwide.

Remember, recovery encompasses every part of you—physical, emotional, and intimate. Join us in catching the wave, because warriors achieve victories every day.
