The Sexual Self after Cancer: Body Image, Self-Esteem and Sexuality

Posted on September 4, 2012 by admin

Presentation Description: This presentation discussed the role of body image and self esteem in healthy psychosocial development and overall happiness of one’s sexual self. For childhood cancer survivors these components can play a more complicated role. Some survivors struggle with body image and low self-esteem, whilst others feel that their self-esteem and body image are even stronger than their peers. This presentation included strategies on how to improve one’s sexual self.

Speaker:          Sage Bolte, PhD, LCSW, OSW-C
