The student should complete and submit a paper that shares his or her sexual story. The paper must include two parts. In Part One the student provides narrative of his or her sexual journey. Start with your earliest memory and develop specific, key experiences and situations that shaped who you are as a sexual person. As the student unfolds his or her sexual story consider learnings from family of origin and peers, events that have posed struggles, ones wished to be different, positive experiences, and key learnings from all events. with and wish could have been different.

In Part Two the student relates his or her story to his or her future work as a counselor. For example, the impact of: working with certain populations, problems, or sexual issues in general; asking sexual-related questions; and acting ethically and legally with sexual issues and clients. Consider how the story will help or hinderff clinical work, etc.

The purpose of this paper is to promote sexual self-awareness so that students will be able to work ethically with their future clients. Some students find their heart in their stomach when they realize they are being asked to share their sexual story; however, virtually all students later report that this paper had a significant and critical impact on their lives. Papers must be written in current APA format, including a title page and reference page (if used). See Blackboard Assignment Helps for more information.
