In this webinar, Dr. Alexandra Katehakis explores the characteristics of healthy and unhealthy sexuality and encourages participants to develop a deeper understanding of their own values, desires, boundaries, and relationship patterns. The discussion highlights how shame, trauma, secrecy, dissociation, and unmet emotional needs can contribute to unhealthy sexual behaviors, including compulsive patterns, risk-taking, emotional disconnection, and the repeated reenactment of past experiences.
