Caller Questions & Discussion:
- Dr. Alice shares that over 77 percent of those who work in the sex industry were sexually abused in the past. If we are consuming pornography, are we participating in the abuse of those we are watching?
- Our daughter is getting married this weekend and it might be the last chance for full family photos because my husband has cancer. Our two sons will be there, but they have not spoken to each other for four years. How do I show up for my sons?
- Are grief, betrayal, and trauma intertwined? My sister took a lot of money from me through a will and is manipulative by talking to my neighbor about me and calling my doctor.
- My wife had an affair and gave me an STD; my doctor told me to divorce, but I don’t want to be by myself.
- How does a single person, who isn’t sexually active, know if they will have a sex drive when they get married?
- I get really enraged at my husband, sons, and mom, but the root is that my expectations aren’t met.
- My husband sexually assaulted me and the police said there’s nothing they can do. He contacts women on Facebook, and he asked his mom about moving into her house with his girlfriend; should I get help or get a divorce?
