Overview
The Come As You Are Workbook is the hands-on companion to Dr Emily Nagoski's bestselling Come As You Are, translating her groundbreaking research on female sexuality into practical, guided exercises. Packed with worksheets, journaling prompts, illustrations, and self-reflection tools, this paperback workbook helps readers apply the science of arousal, desire, and stress directly to their own lives. It's designed for anyone who wants to move beyond theory and actively build a more confident, satisfying, and shame-free relationship with their own body and sexuality.

About the Book
Dr Emily Nagoski's original book Come As You Are became a cultural phenomenon by dismantling myths about female sexuality and replacing them with evidence-based understanding. The Come As You Are Workbook takes that foundation and turns it into action. Rather than simply reading about arousal, desire discrepancy, stress cycles, and the "dual control model", readers are guided through structured exercises that help map their own sexual history and identify personal accelerators and brakes. The workbook format—complete with diagrams, checklists, and space for personal writing—makes complex physiological and psychological concepts accessible and immediately applicable, whether at the kitchen table or in a therapist's office. It suits individuals working on their relationship with intimacy, couples wanting better communication and connection, and therapists or educators seeking a practical, science-backed resource. The tone throughout is warm, non-judgemental, and inclusive, reflecting Dr Nagoski's background as a sex educator with decades of experience helping people understand that there is no single "normal" when it comes to sexual response—only what works for the individual body and relationship in front of them.

• Actionable exercises that translate research into real, everyday change
• Evidence-based content drawn from Dr Nagoski's academic training and years as a sex educator
• Inclusive, shame-free tone that meets readers wherever they are
• Guided worksheets and journaling prompts for tracking progress over time
• Clear illustrations and diagrams that simplify complex concepts
• Useful for individuals, couples, and professionals alike
