Recently, the media has focused its attention on the sex-capades of Tiger Woods and Jesse James, ushering in a whole new interest in sex addiction and sex therapy. Author, Judith Sage's new book, FREE SEX. EXPENSIVE THERAPY: The Adventures of a Woman in Search of Connection, casts new and informative light on the subject with a twist about how your past can figure in to sex therapy - and the transformation that needs to happen.

Whether you need sex therapy yourself, are trying to understand a loved one's addiction to sex or are merely curious about why such successful, seemingly "all together" people would risk everything for flings that mean nothing - FREE SEX. EXPENSIVE THERAPY is a book that will give you an inside look at the realm of addiction, childhood trauma and recovery.

Transformation is the theme of the book, and Sage writes with a surprising touch of humor - even though the subject deals with the sadness of addiction and betrayal. In Chapter One (Ruby Slippers) of FREE SEX. EXPENSIVE THERAPY, Sage explores her own past and years of searching for security through self-destructive behavior patterns.

As Judith says in the first chapter, "So I smiled when I was sad or hurt. I said, "I do," when I should have said, "Not yet." I took in strangers' bodies when I should have run for safety. I swallowed strong prescriptions when all I needed was a dose of pure common sense." Sage's story is poignant as it documents her transformation from childhood innocence to confusion and perils - and finally her emergence into a true state of consciousness.

It's an amazing feat that Sage peppers FREE SEX. EXPENSIVE THERAPY with a sense of humor -- a refreshing touch to an otherwise heart-wrenching story of "a woman's search for connection." Sage states that her "path was so illogical that it became path-o-logical," and when you read about the journey she had to take, it's understandable how she chose the destructive coping mechanisms that became such a part of her life.

The death of Sage's father, only six weeks before her birthday party (where he was to perform magic tricks), and the strange way her mother attempted to cope with his death, was to change Sage's personality into one that she observed mimicked in her mother - good cheer and denial. Sage hid her sadness and confusion and through the years and even began to fool herself.

It wasn't until Judith wrote her first book, "The Joy Around You," that she noticed the warning signs that she was "coming undone." She finally realized that the disembodiment she felt during sexual experimentation was a dead end street and began the transformation process that was to save her life and sanity.

FREE SEX. EXPENSIVE THERAPY: The Adventures of a Woman in Search of Connection by Judith Sage will make you cry - and laugh - and give you a new understanding of how past experiences can affect your present mindset and lead you down a dead-end path.
