Synopsis

The _VSpot_ is a term created to describe the most sensitive area of emotional vulnerability that becomes aroused when one partner hits an emotional raw spot in the other. The V Spot is designed to parallel the GSpot, as the emotional counterpart that can be triggered by a seemimgly unimportant event. The VSpot is comprised of highly charged emotional sensitivities that emanate from raw experiences during infancy and childhood. Getting in contact with the VSpot is the only way to break away from emotional abuse and begin the healing process. Through Lachkar's book, clinicians and therapists will become acquainted with the VSpot and recognize the importance of this volatile area of emotional vulnerability.
