    Couples Counseling

    I don't find your assumption that I dont want to be doing counseling helpful or supportive. I didn't ask for help, and you are not a safe person for me to even engage in this conversation with. Please do not reply.

    Sexual Assault Rapist/sexual abuser making noise?

    CSA survivors’ complicated relationship to anger
