July Member Corner
From the ABCST Director:
Happy Summer!
I hope you and those you love are able to have some relaxing, refreshing, and/or fun time these next weeks before things pick up again for the fall. We at Sexual Wholeness have recently completed our Intermediate Sex Therapy Protocols class and I am enjoying a few weeks of “summer break.” Dr. Barnes and the faculty are in the process of finalizing the class schedule for 2025 – stay tuned for our academic calendar to be available soon!
Enjoy,
Dr. Debra Taylor, ABCST Director
