Reclaiming Your Identity After Sexual Abuse (Lookin’ Through the Glass)
Jeselle and Sela asked the questions survivors actually carry: How do I trust myself again? Who am I, underneath what happened? In this conversation we talk about reclaiming your identity — including your name — and the nervous-system work that makes self-trust possible again. This is the heart of everything I teach.
In this powerful episode, hosts Jeselle and Sela welcome Dr. Lisha Antiqua for an inspiring conversation about healing from sexual abuse, reclaiming identity, and learning to trust yourself again. Dr. Lisha shares her personal journey of overcoming trauma, the significance of reclaiming her name and identity, and how those experiences led her to create Your Own University and the Amazing You Method.
Together, they explore the importance of self-love, consent, body autonomy, emotional release, and nervous system healing, while offering practical tools to help survivors move beyond trauma. The conversation also dives into reclaiming intimacy, understanding the connection between trauma and sexuality, and using language, embodiment, and self-acceptance as powerful catalysts for lasting transformation. Whether you’re navigating your own healing journey or supporting someone who is, this episode offers hope, encouragement, and actionable insights to help you reclaim your power and rewrite your story.
