Values Aligned Sexuality

By Rebbeca PsyD Lahann

This book is not a one-size-fits-all rulebook for sex: it's for you, whether you're single or partnered, queer or straight, or whether you're navigating monogamous, poly, kinky, or queerplatonic connections.

An Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) approach to nurturing a more intentional, true-to-you sex life that aligns with your unique wants, needs, desires, and values.

Written for readers who want to live fuller, more satisfying, and authentic intimate lives, Values-Aligned Sexuality helps you understand yourself and your desires better--and moves you toward actualizing what you really want.

Using ACT principles, Dr. Rebbeca Lahann offers a path to bridging the "authenticity gap"--the disconnect between our sexual behaviors and our values--while embracing your desires, identities, and relationships with openness and clarity.

Through practical exercises and evidence-based strategies, you'll learn how to:

Identify your sexual values with ACT tools like the Values Alignment Bulls-Eye and the Sexual Values MatrixUnderstand cultural scripts and inherited narratives that shape intimacyManage difficult emotions like shame, anxiety, fear, and moreEnhance presence and connection with mindfulness exercises and partnered practicesDetach from unhelpful thought patterns with the author's LLAMA--Label, Let Go, Allow, Mindfulness, and Approach--methodMove toward committed action that aligns with your authentic sexual values
Integrating a holistic biopsychosocial perspective this book emphasizes psychological flexibility, self-trust, and intentional action. Rather than supplying you with rigid, standardized, or unrealistic advice, Dr. Lahann gives you the tools to navigate your intimate life and realize it on your terms--and shows you how to deepen your connections, relationships, and sexual fulfillment.
