Summary

This study tests a 12-week group program called 'Take Your Sexuality Back' for women who have experienced sexual trauma. Researchers will measure PTSD symptoms, sexual satisfaction, shame, and body awareness using questionnaires and heart rate monitoring. The goal is to see if the program is feasible and meaningful for participants, paving the way for a larger future trial.

What this could lead to: If this works, it could point toward an effective group therapy that helps women with sexual trauma improve their sexual well-being and reduce PTSD symptoms.
