- develop healthy relationships with God, with ourselves, and with others (including those of the opposite sex),
- reconnect with your good body and establish a foundation for healthy sexuality, whether currently married or single,
- identify and address any spiritual abuse that may have taken place within sexually abusive relationships,
- understand what arousal structures are, how they're formed and distorted by abuse, and how to shift them when needed for healing, and
- incorporate practical skills for self-care during your healing process.
