6. Observe the impact of your actions on your life

Usually, people will have some idea of how they spend their time. A balanced and good life is usually based on a functional daily life that includes an appropriate amount of activity and rest.

Sexual interest in children and related actions may have an impact on several aspects of life. It can affect factors such as the choice of company, leisure time, the experience of one's own sexuality, and how satisfied and happy one feels.

In the following exercise, we will review all the ways in which you and in your life have been affected by child-sexualising actions.
