Self-regulation has to do with learning body-based methods for keeping your stress down to an optimal level of functioning. That’s where you can be responsive to the present situation rather than react with emotional habits based on the past.

The sexual self, sexual health, and sexual satisfaction cannot be separated from issues of personal growth, authenticity, self-acceptance and ability to be happy in a relationship.
