I came because I was betrayed by my partner, but I left promising myself I will never betray myself again.
Gary Katz, a certified sex addiction therapist and founder of the Center for Intimacy Recovery in New York, joins Amanda Siebert in this thought-provoking episode of 'Root Medicine'. With over 20 years in education and extensive training in various therapeutic modalities like sensorimotor psychotherapy and EMDR, Gary brings a wealth of knowledge to the table. He's also an ordained rabbi, adding a unique perspective to his approach to therapy.
This episode dives into the often misunderstood world of sex addiction and betrayal trauma. Gary shares his personal journey with ibogaine, a powerful psychedelic derived from the West African shrub iboga, and its potential to heal both those struggling with compulsive sexual behavior and those affected by betrayal trauma. Ever wondered what it's like to live with compulsive sexual behavior? Or what hitting 'rock bottom' feels like for someone dealing with sex addiction?
Gary breaks it down, offering listeners a raw and honest look into these experiences. He also explains what makes ibogaine so fascinating from a therapist's perspective and how it has helped a group of women suffering from betrayal trauma. The episode doesn't shy away from tough questions. How does betrayal trauma differ from working with people dealing with compulsive sexual behavior? What are the treatment options available, and how does standard care compare to ibogaine therapy?
Gary's insights provide a comprehensive understanding of these issues. If you're curious about alternative therapies for addiction and trauma, or if you're looking for hope and healing, this episode is a must-listen. It's not just about the science; it's about real people finding real solutions.
