    The Sin of Sexuality: A Discourse with Alyssa Webb-McCune, MA, LPC

    Today we discuss Alyssa's step away from the Church triggered by its teachings surrounding marriage and family. As a professionally licensed counselor, Alyssa provides insight to the underlying harm of purity culture, as we discuss the deep chasm between the Christian Conservative teachings of abstinence only and the scientific conclusions reached regarding comprehensive sex education. Alyssa shines a light on the damage created by the Church, which in her experience was the Independent Fundamental Baptist movement. Author of the book Intentional Self-Love, a workbook dedicated to helping anyone start their journey to self acceptance, Alyssa also owns Natural Balance Counseling located in The Woodlands, Texas. Natural Balance Counseling is a client-focused practice dedicated to providing a safe environment for clients to heal. While Alyssa specializes in deconstructing Christians healing from trauma with a focus in sex and sexuality, the practice is open to all.
