SURVIVORSHIP WEBINAR, SATURDAY DECEMBER 11

OUR NEXT WEBINAR
Saturday, December 11 - noon to 2:00 Pacific time
(Check in at 11:45)

"Beyond Sexual Abuse/Exploitation, Sexual Programming, Sexual Addiction/Avoidance: A Path to Empowerment"

Staci Sprout, LICSW, CSAT

Many survivors of extreme trauma have sexual difficulties as a result. Sexual abuse and "sex kitten" or other forms of sexual enslavement/programming cause deep damage to authentic sexual development. This Webinar will explore the concept of sexual addiction and sexual avoidance in the context of survival of extreme trauma. The focus will be on tools to differentiate "sexual sobriety," addiction, and avoidance and on the powerful impact such boundaries can have on therapy and health.

Staci Sprout, LICSW, CSAT works as an individual and group psychotherapist in Washington State, at Sexual Recovery Services (see www.sexualrecoveryservices.com for more info). She is a Certified Sexual Addiction Therapist (CSAT). She is also a survivor of extreme trauma and will share "what's worked" along her personal journey of recovery as part of the presentation. Caution will be taken to promote safety by not using explicit language or stories, though the content at times may be triggering for survivors.

COST
Last year, Webinars cost $20.00. Now we have changed to a sliding scale, so that each person can pay what they are able to. The scale is in $5.00 increments, starts at $50.00, and goes down to $0.00 (full scholarship). There is no longer any need to request a full or partial scholarship -- you make the decision yourself. (Remember to factor in the cost of a telephone call to the East Coast.)
