  • Managing Unhealthy Sexual Arousal: A Sex-Positive Approach to Treatment

    Dr. Jackson and Dr. Ballinger developed this training to support professionals in adopting sex-positive, non-judgmental approaches to help clients in managing unhealthy patterns of sexual arousal patterns. Many individuals who have sexually abused have had limited sex education and few opportunities to understand the role of sexuality in their lives. Against this backdrop, it is more constructive for clients to view healthy sexuality as a goal to pursue and achieve, rather than regarding sexual arousal as something to avoid for the rest of their lives.
