The goal for the sex addict is the same as the goal for the drug addict: it's to disappear into the behavior for as long as I can and feel really good and positive and excited, for as long as I can, without having to deal with the realities of life.
Ever wondered how couples can rebuild their relationships after multiple infidelities and sex addiction? In this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', host Mary Woods sits down with Patrick Kahn, a trailblazer in sexual addiction treatment. They dive deep into the tangled web of sex addiction, its connection to substance abuse, and the shared goal of escaping life's challenges through these behaviors.
Kahn sheds light on the heavy burden of shame and stigma that often keeps individuals from seeking help, highlighting the limited research in this field. For couples caught in the storm of emotional reactivity, therapy and support become lifelines. This episode offers a metaphorical framework for understanding these couples' struggles and encourages steps toward empathetic communication and healing.
Westbridge, a nonprofit organization, is also mentioned for its role in supporting individuals and families dealing with co-occurring mental illness and substance use disorders. The conversation is a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with sex addiction or the fallout of infidelity. Tune in for practical advice, compassionate insights, and a reminder that joy is possible without relying on anonymous sexual experiences.
