Sexuality in Recovery: Dr. Juline Koken's Insightful Take

For some people, you know, I think it should just be a case-by-case basis, and the person who needs to be making these decisions is the individual who is in recovery.
How often do we openly talk about sexuality in the context of addiction recovery? In this eye-opening episode of 'Scope of Practice', Dr. Juline Koken, a seasoned researcher and educator, tackles this often-ignored yet crucial topic. Hosted by the Connecticut Certification Board, this conversation dives deep into the complexities surrounding sexuality for individuals in substance use disorder (SUD) recovery. Dr.
Koken sheds light on why discussing sexuality is essential, the barriers that keep these conversations from happening, and how therapists can create a safe space for such discussions. She also addresses the impact of sexual dysfunction on recovery and underscores the importance of comprehensive sex education tailored for those in recovery. A key takeaway? Empowering individuals to make informed decisions about their sexuality while ensuring counselors are equipped to support a diverse range of clients.
This episode offers valuable insights for anyone interested in the intersection of sexuality and recovery, making it a must-listen.
