Trauma is experienced as a sexual secret. In this paper, two cases with sexual problems are presented, who are survivors of childhood sexual trauma. Similarity between these cases is that the worries about their children play an important role on the emergence of the symptoms of the childhood trauma. Case A was a 34-year-old mother of two children. She had been sexually abused by her brother when she was 12. She had sexual desire and arousal disorders, which started after her worries about a probable similar situation between her children. Case B was a 30-year-old mother of two children. She was sexually abused by a neighbor from 5 years of age until adolescence. Complaints of lack of sexual desire and aversion started when her daughter was 5. PTSD symptoms were related to their childhood sexual trauma in both cases. The aim of this report is to discuss the influence of motherhood on the appearance of trauma symptoms in women with childhood sexual trauma and to emphasize the presence of sexual trauma and sexual secrets.
