When Trauma Affects Sex: An integrated and inclusive approach to understanding and treating individual and systemic trauma in sexual health therapy
Autor Sarah Ashton Cuvânt înainte de Kate Balestrierien Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 iun 2026
Unpacking the neurological, psychological, relational, and systemic influences on sexual functioning-and using inclusive, neuro-affirming, LGBTIQA+-friendly language-this book provides a practical roadmap for understanding the "roots" of sexual difficulties. It considers attachment history and traumas from family of origin through to minority stress and sexual trauma, guiding therapists to identify underlying patterns, recognise overlooked factors, and apply techniques that foster healing, resilience, and empowerment.
Written for psychologists, sexual-health practitioners, educators, and clinicians, this resource equips professionals to address sexual symptoms with confidence and compassion.

Recenzii
When Trauma Affects Sex is brilliant - easy to read, relatable, and full of heart. It's one of those rare books that makes your heart thump with excitement because you can't wait to get into the therapy room to put it into practice. With wisdom and generosity, Sarah guides us into the neglected corners of trauma and sexuality work, offering practical strategies and inviting deep self-reflections that inspire both professional and personal growth.
This book will spark a quiet revolution in how we engage with sexuality in the therapy room.
Dr Ashton's book is an incredibly comprehensive and helpful resource for every clinician who works with sex and trauma. It provides a systematic overview of the landscape of trauma and holds out hope for the many trauma survivors who experience sexual difficulties, and the clinicians who walk with them. I'll be adding this to my bookshelf immediately.
Sexual Symptoms as Trauma Responses radically redefines sexual "problems" as the body's intelligent attempts to cope with unresolved trauma. Dr. Sarah Ashton bridges neuroscience, attachment theory, and somatic healing to reveal how symptoms like numbness, anxiety, and avoidance are protective adaptations-not personal failures. Grounded in compassion and clinical depth, this book offers a path from sexual disconnection to integration, safety, and aliveness.
As a clinician with over 30 years of experience, I found this book to be an outstanding and much-needed contribution to our field. In this well-researched, comprehensive, and insightful work, Sarah sheds light on the often-overlooked intersections of sexuality and trauma. With clarity and compassion, she demonstrates the importance of a trauma-informed lens when supporting people with sexual difficulties. Seamlessly interweaving case examples with theory, Sarah brings complex frameworks to life and provides practical tools that clinicians can immediately integrate into their work. This is the book I've been waiting for.
