Treatment

Treatment Philosophy  

• Sex addiction as well as porn addiction are  treatable problems, with their roots in childhood trauma.   Neglect often forms a significant part of the picture of the childhood environment. These root, if left untreated, are the primary drivers of persistent relapsing, ongoing attachment and intimacy issues, and a lack of fulfillment in sexual sobriety

•  It is a comprehensive issue, adversely affecting every aspect of the addict’s life. It also negatively impacts the sex addict’s family and friends, his or her employer, and the community at large. 

 •  While achieving sexual sobriety is an essential component of recovery, longer-term treatment must address those underlying issues of abuse and neglect if a lasting and transformative recovery is to be achieved.

•  Individual and group therapy as well as in-depth 5- and 10-day intensives are the recommended treatment modalities.  

 •. Experiential and expressive therapies such as psychodrama, art therapy, and EMDR, are especially appropriate for the trauma healing that is so central to sex and porn addiction recovery.   

•. Participation in a 12-Step program for sexual recovery is also highly recommended.   

•  The partner and  partner and family of the sex or porn addict are equally in need of specialized treatment, which gives the couple and the family the greatest  chance to remain intact. Although remaining in relationship with the sex addict may not initially seem like a desirable option, participation in a recovery process by all concerned often brings about a different point of view and new  possibilities..
