View submission: Does trauma healing lead to asexuality ?

For me it was the opposite but I guess that’s personal to my life. (ED mention) I actually used to be asexual. I legitimately had no sexual attraction. My therapist told me she’s seen asexual clients develop sexual attraction when mentally recovering from their EDs. And then eventually I did develop that attraction at 25 - I had actually suspected in my specific case that my asexuality could have come from complex trauma.

I do not think asexuality is always a trauma response, it’s normal and natural for a lot of people. I just don’t think it was meant for me personally.
