ORIGINAL: DesFIP She doesn't need a sex therapist. What's wrong with her sex life is the idiot in it. She needs a real one who can help her see her situation and formulate changes. In the meantime she can go to an ACOA meeting for the cost of a dollar a meeting. What I would tell her? "Here's the number of a therapist with experience in abused women. Here's a list of places and times of ACOA meetings. Here's the number of the local shelter. Here's the want ads. Now that you have all these resources, take advantage of them". Hard nosed, I know, but I'm not real big on enabling. the shelter... what shelters do is they take you away in a van and your stuff and everything you once had is gone(you get to bring one bag of essentials).. shes getting yelled at not hit, not being told shes going to die if she leaves... she has the door as an option. Shelters are last resorts, they are to protect you which is why they dont let you bring anything in, they only want the ones that dont have another option. she doesnt need a therapist as you said.... she needs to get real and get real sex. the ACOA? adult children of alcholics? Not sure if we have enough info to determine that... There are different kinds of shelters... and most have out patient counseling and resources. That way women can get some support as they slowly make the move away from the abusive situation. And as others have mentioned, abuse isnt just about being hit... It includes verbal, mental, and emotional attacts and mistreatment. There are also church based programs to help with counseling and getting access to various community resources. No one has to mention the kind of relationship, if the program or counselor is not kink friendly. Any help is better than NO help, and better than just staying in a situation that makes anyone feel sad, hopeless, depressed, worthless, trapped, etc. There are alot of suppport groups for people who are co-dependent and unable to move forward or change their relationships... Those groups, like 12 step groups, are free, and just ask for a donation if possible, like the ACOA group mentioned. Just my 2 cents...
