Imani and Dr. Kate talk about a new area of research that explores the Impact of a Child’s sexual victimization on the lives and sex lives of the parents of the child. This traumatic event for the child can take it’s toll on the parents as well. Feelings of guilt, concern for their child’s mental health, shock, can all lead to a breakdown of communication and little interest in sexual activity with their partner.

Imani Reynolds is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California and a board-certified sexologist. Imani is currently a doctoral student in Human Sexuality with research focused on sexual desire, sexual intimacy, and sexual trauma.
