The Workshop for Women



The workshop for women was entitled "Understanding and Surviving Sexual Trauma: A workshop for Women in relationships with Sexually Addicted Men".

Here is a description of the workshop:

Partners of Sexually Addicted Men as Sexual Trauma Survivors

Traditionally, our understanding of the experiences of women in relationships with sexually addicted men has been restricted to the concepts of Codependence and Co-Addiction. Dr. Omar Minwalla aims to expand this understanding by uncovering the sexual traumatization experienced by women in this situation. His insightful contribution is at the cutting edge of the growing interest in developing new, comprehensive and customized conceptualizations and interventions for Partners within the Sex Addiction field.

What this workshop will help you accomplish

* Understand your experience as a Partner within the framework of Sexual Traumatization
* Identify your sexual trauma symptoms and wounds
* Understand the basic steps required for sexual healing
* Workshop includes presentations and experiential work aimed at helping you jump start your sexual healing.

Hi Silvia, I left you a voice message. I'm so intrigued and interested in hearing more on this workshop. I am guessing Omar Minwalla did research and collected data to come up with the best way to treat trauma on partners of SA, right? I agree, the help provided to just "codependency" issues is NOT enough! I would like to hear more from you and take notes for my research paper I'm writing for UH. Thank you!
