Kerry Cohen’s therapy practice

February 18th, 2010

I’m getting things together to start my practice, hopefully in the fall of this year. My specialty, of course, will be the loose girl issue, but also I’ll serve sex and love addictions and couples dealing with these issues. If you’d like to get on my mailing list for the practice, or to even sign up for one of my slots (I’ll also be doing phone and skype therapy for long distance clients), go here and sign up:

gratitude

January 7th, 2010

I’m overwhelmed with gratitude for the many emails and messages I receive from my readers. The things you write to me are moving, inspiring, heartbreaking – they are the reason I wrote the book. This is just a quick blog post to let you all know that I read every single one. I am way behind on getting back to everyone, inundated by other work, but please be patient as you will hear from me eventually.

Fan Mail and a New Book

October 21st, 2009

Few things move me the way your fan mail does. I love that you share your lives and pain with me, that you trust me that much without us ever having met.

About a month ago I sold a proposal for a psychology/parenting book on the loose girl issue. I’m excited about this book because there really isn’t anything else like it. There are tons of books with evidence why gorls shouldn’t have sex, tons of books about rape and molestation, tons of books about the grown-up slut. But this will be the first book – like Loose Girl – that addresses the issue of addiction to male attention, how it’s culturally fueled and so hard to avoid. And – in answer to many of your requests – I plan to devote a few chapters to making change in your life.

I plan to use many of my fans’ voices in the book. If you’re interested in being interviewed for the book, please fill out the survey that is linked from the Loose Girl page here on my web site. .

Neglect!

April 2nd, 2009

Oh my, I’ve been neglecting this poor website. Pretty much all my links to TV are outdated, or you can’t access the videos anymore.

Maybe if I stopped spending all my time on Facebook I’d be a more productive person…something to think about.

Meanwhile, getting ready for Loose Girl’s paperback release in June. Stay tuned.
