We know what is wrong with purity culture—now we need to know how to heal. Drawing on historical and psychological research, her own personal experience, and therapy case studies, Dr. Camden Morgante tackles what comes next in reclaiming our sexuality from the harmful teachings so many evangelical Christians grew up believing. With great compassion and insight, Dr. Camden

● exposes five myths of purity culture and their effects on individuals and relationships

● offers proven therapy techniques to replace harmful lies with healing truth

● provides strategies to overcome shame in the mind and body

● explores the connection between purity culture, trauma, and faith deconstruction

● helps the hurting reconstruct their faith with peace and acceptance

A healthy sexuality is not out of reach for those who have been harmed by purity culture. You can find freedom from shame, restrictive gender roles, and stunted relationships. Dr. Camden shows you the way forward.
