For this episode I am joined by Shena Tubbs. Shena is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Sex Addiction Therapist Candidate in Houston, TX. She specializes in treating women with intimacy disorders, trauma, and sexually compulsive behaviors or addictions. Shena and I chatted about some of the concerns that might bring Nova to therapy, how the Bordelon family history adds perspective to Nova's concerns, some of the techniques she might use with her in therapy, and she shared some of her favorite resources in case you might have similar concerns. </p> <p class="gmail-m_9057527818972645774gmail-p1"> <strong> </strong></p> <p class="gmail-m_9057527818972645774gmail-p1"><strong>Resources Mentioned</strong></p> <p>Visit our <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/shop/therapy4bgirls" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Amazon Store</a> for all the books Shena mentioned! </p> <p><a href="http://www.suddenlycelibate.com/">Suddenly Celibate</a></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Where to Find Shena</strong></p> <p><span style= "color: #22242f; font-family: 'Open Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"> <strong><a href= "http://www.shenathetherapist.com/">http://www.shenathetherapist.com/</a></strong></span><a href="http://www.shenathetherapist.com/"><br /> </a></p> <p><span style= "color: #22242f; font-family: 'Open Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"> <a href= "http://www.blackgirlsheal.org/">http://www.blackgirlsheal.org/</a></span></p> <p>Twitter: <a href= "https://www.twitter.com/shenatherapy">@shenatherapy</a></p> <p>Facebook: <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/shenatubbs">@shenatubbs</a></p> <p>Instagr
