ABSTRACT

This therapeutic journey started with transparency imposed and has moved slowly toward transparency willed. A change of earthmoving proportions has been made in order to let go of secret sexual behaviors and change the relationships and the lifestyles that developed around them. It is like moving to a strange country and having to learn a new set of social skills, develop a new identity, and acquire a new language with which to express your needs. It is a very difŠcult thing to maintain. Some get very homesick for the “old country.”
