Mui emocionado! So excited! I’m happy to announce that HarperMexico is publishing my book, The Sexual Healing Journey, in a multiple-country Spanish language edition in April-May 2021.

I thank Evelyn Salinas, for writing a wonderful forward to the book, and Natasha Prosperi for her support and encouragement from the beginning. I look forward to sharing more information about El Viaje para Sanar la Sexualidad: Una Guía para Sobrevivientes de Abuso with you as soon as it is available.

The article interviews Wendy Maltz and describes several basic Relearning Touch techniques from The Sexual Healing Journey. It also features a Netherlands-based engineer’s self-discovery kit for survivors and a clothing designer’s dental dam underwear. Though the tools come from divergent therapeutic and engineering fields, they share a common goal of helping survivors learn to feel more relaxed, present, and in control during intimate relating.
