Sexual Self-esteem Seminar: 6 Course Outline

• Session 1
We will introduce ourselves, discuss confidentiality and begin to build trust. Myths make sex difficult. But, we also build and reinforce sexual defences, which block pleasure and intimacy. Some defences are conscious and others are unconscious. However, by examining 13 issues that foster high sexual self-esteem you will learn what steps you can take to discard unnecessary defences.

• Session 2
Developmental stages of sexuality and beliefs play a crucial role in your sexual potential. Beliefs are powerful; they hold us in their grip and play themselves out in our sexual choices. Identify and explore which beliefs may be contributing to your pain, limiting you, confusing you, etc. Free yourself from old beliefs. Develop new beliefs, which build high sexual self-esteem.
   
• Session 3
Everyone has a sexual past. However, it is often living right along side our present. If we are not careful, we drag it into our future. In sexual relationships, we are even troubled by other people’s pasts. Don’t let the past hold you hostage; instead explore the topic. Sexual self-esteem is either being strengthened or weakened in the present; learn how to keep yours strong.
   
• Session 4
Sexual expectations, both conscious and unconscious, play a key role in sexual self-esteem. You may or may not share them, directly or indirectly, with your partner. Identify what you have included or left out. Identifying and effectively communicating expectations is essential in building and maintaining high sexual self-esteem.
   
• Session 5
Sexual desire is normal and natural, but it often becomes a battleground. We battle inside ourselves and with others. Anxiety, anger, depression and hurt, day to day life, parenting, etc. often bury desire. Thus, desire and intensity become very complex and neither is free of sexual politics. Increase your sexual self-esteem by having a better understanding of your relationship with desire, intensity and eroticism.
   
• Session 6
Society has always had a variety of names it uses to describe women’s sexuality. These names hurt, confuse and interfere in each woman deciding, for herself, what role sexual assertiveness will play in her life. We will explore what sexually assertive women are thinking, doing and feeling. You will have the opportunity to evaluate choices and changes you would like to make.
