People frequently come to therapy believing they are broken. They have been told this by countless people. Over the past 33 years, I have worked with thousands of people, and the majority of them don't have something wrong with them. They are just missing skills. This book is made up of education about the skills, examples and plans to learn the skills complete with exercises. Why are these skills so important? When a person lacks skills, they are set up to experience difficult situations throughout their lives.

This book pairs my erotica with the true story of my intimate relationships and then adds my analysis of the main themes around trauma, emotional skills, and authenticity. Nietzsche said, "That which doesn’t kill us, makes us stronger." My story bears this out on more than one occasion. My erotica is as intense and challenging as my life story. It is full of BDSM, fetish, and power-exchange dynamics. The lines between the fantasy and my lived reality are easy to blur.
