Self-Help Sex Therapy

Not many people are terribly anxious to go visit a sex therapist to help them with their sexual difficulties in marriage. Well, that's okay 'cuz we've tried to make it easy for couples to get some help from within the privacy of their own home.

Below you'll find nearly 60 brief audio segments discussing various topics related to sex and intimacy, as if you were having your very own consultation with Laura as your sex therapist! ;)

LDS Bishop Resources

 
I was recently asked to put together some information for a training for local bishops of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to help them with the responsibility they have of counseling with their ward members.

It was a little surprising to find very few resources easily available to help our good bishops, so I thought I'd pass this along to others who might also be able to use it. Please share this information with those who may be interested!
