EDUCATION
Hear what others say about the benefits and challenges of
their service experience, and
what works for them now.
​
Learn why intrusive thoughts, strong feelings, and the tendency to isolate are normal reactions to the more "abnormal" service experiences
​
Understand why both physical and non-physical intimacy can be difficult for couples
​
Leave with easy tools to manage any limiting symptoms, improve all your relationships, instill greater trust,
and enjoy peace of mind.
"Great education information I've never heard before such as SUDs,
'moral conflict', and techniques to work through triggers."
