He Called me Broken: an autobiographical recount of dealing with sex and shame

Shame is the belief that, "we are flaw, and therefore are unworthy of love and belonging." When we tie this into sex and sexuality, it means that we're unable to perform, feel good about ourselves, or are, essentially, bad in bed. "He Called me Broken," is a fictionally true recount of my dealings with sexual shame, suppression, and body dysmorphia, and how all three together conglomerated into a string of bad college hookups, an emotionally abusive ex-boyfriend, and self-discovery akin to the tail-end of a Hallmark movie. There's also love, light, happiness, true friendship, and laughter; and, through it all, a belief that we're worthy at every single stage. Period.
