Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 When Sally and Jim began counseling, they were surprised to find that their lack of sexual interest in each other was caused by the molestation Sally had suffered years before.

#2 Sexual concerns are difficult to face. They are personal and embarrassing. When we have a sexual problem, we may try to deny it or hope it will just go away on its own. We may fear that admitting our problems will cause others to reject us or think less of us.

#3 The sexes can be very difficult for survivors to navigate. They may have unusual reactions to routine situations, and they may be shocked at their unconscious reactions to touch and sex.

#4 The survivor may realize their sexual behavior is inappropriate. They may become frustrated by their sexual behavior, as it may seem irrational and upsetting. But they must remember that awareness brings motivation to change.
