Scripting out the tough conversation

• Benefits of “scripting” or planning out what you are going to say to partner
• Scripting/planning reflect on the key points you want to share

Some ideas:

1. Educating your partner about the side effects of treatment
2. Reassuring partner of your feelings for them
3. Creating solutions ahead of time that might increase closeness and help you reconnect with your partner
4. Identifying suggestions from experts to address physical changes that affect sexual activity (i.e., sex therapist, couples counselor or a health care provider)
