Life can be hard. From personal addictions, mental health struggles to relationship concerns, the guidance and support of a third party can help. It can feel daunting, or even impossible, to tackle areas that are causing distress when alone, but with the support of a professional, relief can become attainable.

IT IS NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE TO AVOID THE STORMS OF LIFE, BUT YOU CAN LEARN TO DANCE IN THE RAIN. Do your problems seem overwhelming? Is conflict in your relationship making you unhappy? Do painful childhood memories keep surfacing? Anger can ruin your relationship and get you in trouble with the law. Anxiety and depression can prevent you from enjoying life to the fullest. Holidays can bring back unhappy memories or be a source of stress and conflict. Loneliness and isolation feel worse during these times. Self medication with alcohol, drugs or other addictions that are used to dull the pain only make it worse.

Is it time for a change? Do you feel depressed, anxious, stuck, or angry? Do past experiences negatively impact the present? Do you need a safe place to feel listened to and supported? At times, we all find ourselves feeling lost and afraid. Things in our lives may not be going in a desired way or we may find that we come up against the same issues time and again. Life can sometimes be overwhelming and painful. You may feel like things will never get better or that change is out of reach. I believe that the trials of life can be tremendous opportunities for growth.

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.
