We have this one life to live and for many of us, we may live it in worry, resentment, heaviness and desperation, putting in great effort to feel safe, secure and loved by others, yet never feeling satisfied. But for some, and maybe that’s you, there’s a sense, a stirring, a nagging feeling that there is more to this life, beyond the way you’ve been living. There is something within you wanting to get out of reoccurring stress and that self-critical voice that keeps you stuck, lost and in pain, to feel more present in your life instead of reliving the past, and wanting to feel free and to experience yourself more lovingly.

“The time is now. The time is now.” This short but dominating sentence is now going on in your mind. “Corey hasn’t been close for a long time. I remember when he was always interested in me, wanting to know about me, my thoughts and dreams. He would often approach me for sex and it was like we were just one person.” Heather has been thinking about how things have changed over the last year. She tells me in her initial phone call that he has been secretive and his mind has been occupied. Heather says they need help NOW to communicate in better ways.

Are you sometimes distracted by unhelpful thoughts or insecurities during sex? Do you worry that you'll disappoint your partner because of unreliable erections or differences in sexual desire? Do you sometimes avoid partnered sex altogether because masturbating to porn feels less complicated? You might have even wondered or been told that you have a porn "addiction." If so, you’re not alone and there's nothing "wrong" with you. You may simply be one of the many adults experiencing performance anxieties, desire discrepancies, or who have adopted popular culture's inaccurate beliefs about sex. The good news? I know how to help.

Sexual Addiction Therapists
When should someone seek treatment for sex addiction?
People should seek treatment for sex addiction if they cannot control their sexual thoughts or behaviours to the point that it disrupts their ability to function in daily life, for example by threatening their finances, career, or relationships. This may include spending an excessive amount of time obsessing over sex, planning sex, watching pornography, or masturbating, as well as consistently engaging in risky sexual activities, using sex to escape distressing feelings, or attempting yet failing to control sexual behavior.
What are the most common treatment options for sex addiction?
Psychotherapy is the most common treatment for sex addiction; therapy helps patients better understand their compulsive thoughts and behaviors and develop strategies to manage their desires. Therapy may be supplemented by medications, such as antidepressants, mood stabilizers, anti-androgens, and the alcohol and substance use medication Naltrexone, as well as support groups, such as 12-step programs.
How long does therapy take for sex addiction?
Recovering from compulsive behavior takes time and effort. There’s no precise timeline for treatment, but research suggests 12 therapy sessions may be enough to see change. Treatment for sexual compulsions requires honesty in therapy, a commitment to understanding triggers and developing coping skills, and potential lifestyle changes such as cutting out alcohol or drugs.
What if sex addiction is left untreated?
Compulsive sexual behavior can have serious repercussions if left unaddressed. For example, if sexual obsessions consume the vast majority of a person’s time, they may lose their job. If they can’t stop paying for sex, their finances may suffer. If they’re dishonest in their relationships, their partner may leave them. If they consistently feel shame, they may struggle with anxiety, depression, or loneliness. Therapy can help people develop the tools to manage sexual thoughts and behaviors that feel uncontrollable.
