Being a mother is a different experience from the father one. Women have a laborious job of creating life within themselves, and this can be a traumatic experience from pregnancy to giving birth. So the father, partner, or husband has to play the supporting role. In this episode, our guest Kimberly Ann Johnson explains how these traumas can affect life as a couple, from sexuality to intimacy. In addition, she will talk to us about how we can heal the trauma related to our genitals and the lack of empathy regarding rest or recovery from birth for the sake of progress. Did you know the benefits of witnessing touch? Press play and find out. ABOUT KIMBERLY ANN JOHNSON.
