ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on exploring mental or sexual health issues with the latest up-to-date non-pathologizing treatments. These therapeutic methods work with the unconscious to heal those who suffer from problematic sexual behavior, both sexual and non-sexual shame, guilt, and trauma. Trauma symptomology frequently appears as anxiety, depression, or another diagnosis. Many mental health professionals continue to treat symptoms and don't address the underlying trauma. The chapter provides clarity in integrating neuroscience with creative therapeutic modalities, including play, which is rarely considered within the adult population.
