Episode description
Some people have full blown porn and sex addictions. Without proper treatment, they will likely live a life laden with shame and destruction. But what about the other people who don't quite qualify for an addiction? What if their behaviors are "merely problematic?"
I discuss this issue with Heather Seguin of Clear Choice Counseling, who specializes in sex addiction treatment, as well as helping the partners of sex addicts.
Key talking points:
- Do people need treatment if they "only" have problematic behavior?
- If so, what does that treatment look like?
- The difficulty of getting out of isolation if we never learned social skills
- The importance of finding a specialist in therapy is similar to finding a specialist in the medical field.
[Editor's note: Heather's practice is now remote serving residents of CA]
