•Typically, people don’t think about how they
developed their sense of sexuality, it just happens through your lived experience.

This means finding a reason to get up and get out into the world every day. This can include a hobby, a job, a volunteer role, schooling, an exercise program, social activities, whatever you want! •Once you are a little more confident, you will naturally become more curious about what’s possible and may become more open to trying different things. Positive experiences can help build your confidence further. Exploring your sexuality is a step by step •The path everyone takes will look different and everyone will build their confidence in their own way.

Sexual image • My Role • The process of regaining your sexual self-view, self- confidence, and boosting your self-esteem can seem very overwhelming at the beginning. These feelings are common especially soon after injury.

The Physical Self is the concrete dimension, the tangible aspect of the person that can be directly observed and examined. , however, this important aspect of our Self seems to have lost somewhere between the Eastern detachment and Western narcissism, so much so that sufficient theoretical development on this issue is lacking. However, directly or indirectly, the discussion on Physical Self has found a place in various schools ofScientifically psychology like psychoanalysis, behaviorism, humanism etc. with some of its most ardent exponents and followers dealing with the issue in varying proportions. •physical body and the external world can be known only as psychological experiences: I'm chiefly concerned with the psyche itself, therefore I'm leaving out body and spirit. The body and spirit are to me mere aspects of the reality of the psyche. Psychic experience is the only immediate experience. Body is as metaphysical as the spirit. • Physical Self: The Sun in Darkness
The body that was to be a lamp to self,
One day worms will have • a horrid feast of It.
Here is the common glory of all human flesh,
That the good and bad, high and low, all must die.
