We’re excited to welcome Caroline Comeaux Lee, a trauma-informed and sex-affirming therapist, for a meaningful conversation on the intersection of sexuality, trauma, and healing.

Caroline shares insights from her clinical work supporting individuals and couples navigating complex relational dynamics, including ethical non-monogamy, trauma recovery, and sexual wellness.

Together, we discuss how trauma shows up in the body, how it impacts connection, and how clinicians can support clients in rebuilding trust, emotional attunement, and a sense of agency in their sexual lives.
