"The title of this book says it all – as individuals, and as a society, there is an urgent need to become grounded in our sexual understanding and expression for the overall health of humanity. Extremely well written and researched, Sexual Grounding Therapy is a valuable resource, especially for therapists and professionals working on the subject of sexuality and its expression in relationships. It clearly establishes the significance of addressing sex in a grounded and direct way." Diana Richardson, author of several books on sex, including the best-seller, The Heart of Tantric Sex
