Getting Started

  1. If you’re comfortable doing so, invite God to be part of your conversation.
  2. Discuss what stood out to you from the article.
  3. Talk about anything from the article that you have questions about or don’t understand.

Key Points From Article #7

  • Triggers are things that cause you to start down a path toward being sexually aroused.

    Discuss:
    • How can you relate to Heidi’s triggers? What other triggers do you experience?
       
  • Knowing your triggers allows you to set good boundaries, which will give you the opportunity to develop healthy relationships.

    Discuss:
    • What boundaries can you set in place to guard against each of your triggers?
       
  • Experiencing sexual desire in a healthy way requires knowing your triggers so you can be proactive about avoiding them. Reaching out to trusted friends for support when you’re triggered is also healthy.

    Discuss:
    • How have you experienced feeling out of control — like you can’t stop — once you’ve been triggered?

Next Steps — Read through these together.

  • Think of two or three people you could text or call for support when you feel triggered or when your sexual desire is taking over.
  • Try talking to them this week about whether they would be willing to support you in this way.
  • Share your progress with whomever you are discussing the Desire series with.
  • Mark a date on your calendar to discuss another article from the Desire series.
