Sex Care is Self Care
SHE+ 47 | Sexual Violence & Sexual Health with Sarah Klein and Lauren Hueber
In this powerful and deeply personal episode of Sex Care Is Self-Care, host Patty Brisben sits down with two remarkable women: marriage and family therapist Lauren Brisben Hueber (MS, MFT) and attorney and survivor-advocate Sarah Klein (JD).
Together, they explore the complex realities of sexual trauma, the lasting effects it can have on physical and emotional health, and the path toward healing and justice.
Lauren shares clinical insights from her work as a licensed marriage and family therapist, including how trauma rewires the brain, why survivors often freeze, and how symptoms like hypersexuality, pain, or emotional disconnection are often misunderstood.
Sarah opens up about her own experience as one of Larry Nassar’s earliest known survivors and how it shaped her work representing others who have endured sexual abuse.
With honesty, vulnerability, and strength, the conversation covers: What trauma really is — and how it lives in the body.
This is more than a podcast episode. It’s a message of validation, empowerment, and community for survivors and anyone who supports them.
