Recovery is not about what you don't do. And so when sexual behavior or relationship with porn is causing significantly negative problems in life and the behavior doesn't change, it's an addiction like any other addiction.
Sex addiction is a struggle that many face, often shrouded in shame and misunderstanding. In this episode of 'I Love Being Sober', host Tim Westbrook sits down with Robert Weiss PhD, LCSW, the Chief Clinical Officer of Seeking Integrity, to break down the complexities of sex addiction and the path to healing. Dr. Weiss sheds light on the difference between sex addiction and love addiction, helping listeners understand the nuances that often get overlooked.
He dives into how behaviors around sexual intimacy can become compulsive and why intimacy plays a crucial role in recovery. The conversation also touches on the impact of online addiction and the vital role community support plays in overcoming these challenges. Gender differences in addiction, including how testosterone can influence behavior, are also explored. Dr. Weiss shares practical advice on creating a sobriety plan and finding reliable expert resources.
Whether you're personally affected or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable steps towards recovery.
