Summary
I am joined today by Jay Stringer to talk about the relationship between our current sexual difficulties and our attachment histories. At some point in our lives, each of us will encounter difficulties in our sexual life. It might be the compulsive use of unwanted sexual behavior or a struggle to locate any sexual desire at all. Sexual struggles are rooted in our stories—and more particularly, our stories of attachment to our primary caretakers. If you want to explore this material in more depth, please sign up for the Sexual Attachment Conference on Saturday, April 24. You can sign up here.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the place we find ourselves podcasts. I'm Adam Young and today I am joined by fellow therapist and author Jay Stringer to |
| 0:10.4 | talk about how our stories affect our sexuality. Jay was a guest earlier in the podcast to talk about his book Unwanted, |
| 0:19.6 | which focuses on how our unwanted sexual behavior reveals our stories and reveals a pathway to healing. And today |
| 0:27.3 | I've asked Jay to come back on because he and I are co leading a virtual conference on Saturday, |
| 0:35.3 | April 24th to explore the connection between our sexuality and our stories. Jay, before I keep talking, |
| 0:43.2 | welcome. It's good to see you. Good to have you. Adam, thank you so much for having me back on your |
| 0:49.7 | podcast. And I'm thrilled to be here. But as you mentioned, so, so thrilled to collaborate with you on |

| 1:57.7 | why don't you begin by look, neither one of us got into this subject matter from a professional |
| 2:05.0 | interest standpoint. So say a bit about how did you get interested in sexuality and story. |
| 2:15.0 | That's hilarious. Yes. I don't think either of us during puberty ever thought that we would be |
