Sex is not inherently addictive. Just because you might like sex and sexual activity does not mean your addicted to it. Men and women who have developed a sexual addiction are caught up in repetitive activities that do not fulfill their needs and negatively impact their relationships, jobs and health. There are things you can do to change your relationship to your sexuality so that you can get the enjoyment you want from all areas of your life.

Signs of sexual addiction often elude obvious detection. Do you find yourself masturbating excessively, experiencing shame, and feeling compelled to conceal this aspect of your life? Are you overwhelmed by urges and desires that leave you feeling out of control, triggering feelings of anxiety, depression, guilt, or shame? Do you engage in secret behaviors such as watching pornography or soliciting prostitution? Beneath this addiction often lies unresolved and unhealed past traumatic experiences that have hindered your ability to communicate your pain.
I work with clients who struggle with compulsive sexual behaviors, pornography addiction and love addiction. I appreciate how these behaviors have often developed as an early coping mechanism to help us deal with complexities of relationships and overwhelm of being in the word. They often begin to impact our mental health and intimate relationships in the long run. I help individuals overcome this, in order to live a more healthy and fulfilling life.
