In 2005, the journey of our working relationship began when we first met in a work-related event. Very quickly, we both learned about our shared passions related to doing research focused on the understanding of one’s loving authentic true-self, sexuality, addiction, and trauma. Our passion for these issues began as a result of our own life experiences and stories. Each of us were raised in two different cultures, both Eastern and Western, and, of course, different family dynamics. Because of the powerful influence of these factors, we became alienated from what we now know is our loving authentic true-selves and suffered because of this. It led Dr. Jaffe to struggle with addictive behaviors, and Dr. Rashidian to struggle with perfectionism, for many years. The challenges we both engaged in, to overcome these influences, strongly informed our individual professional passions, to assist others to recognize, value, and appreciate their own loving authentic true-selves.
