Recap

In other words, this section is all about relapse prevention – how to prevent a relapse and, if the worst comes to the worst and you do slip, how to pick yourself up and get building again. We think you have learnt a lot about what yourself and what you have been doing by now. This is where we pull all that together.

You have learnt:

  • How you used the sexually exploitative images of minors or resorted to your fantasies about minors; 
  • Why you used the images of sexual exploitation of minors − or at least some of the reasons why.

You know:

Sexual images of children harm children – no excuses, no denial;

  • Sexual images of children and your fantasies about minors harm you and people around you.

But you also know:

  • Things we do again and again become habits
  • And habits are hard to break.

So stopping yourself from offending again might seem difficult but think about what you’ve achieved so far.

  • You came here because you wanted to stop offending.
  • You have learnt a lot about yourself and your behaviour.
  • You have challenged thoughts and feelings which led to your offending.

And that gives you the POWER to THINK differently, FEEL differently and ACT better.

The following sections should give you the understanding and tools you need to stop you slipping… and the support you need just in case you do.
