Sacred Sexuality: Healing Addiction and Embracing Joy

Somewhere between these polarities of the profanation of sex and the prohibition of sexuality, in the middle there is a reverence and healthy celebration of sexuality, and that's the goal, and certainly that's very important for anyone suffering from a sexual or romantic addiction.
Sex is a tricky subject, often swinging between extremes in our culture. But what if we could find a middle ground that sees sexuality as a divine gift? That's the intriguing premise explored in this episode of 'Spirit of Recovery'. Hosts Rev. Dan Beckett and Rev. Michelle Vargas are joined by Dr. Robert Hemfelt, a psychotherapist with a knack for tackling relationships and addictive behaviors, to dive into the concept of sacred sexuality. Dr.
Hemfelt sheds light on how viewing sexuality as a God-given power can help heal addictive dynamics and toxic shame. He emphasizes moving away from the polarities of sexual exploitation and repression to embrace a balanced, reverent approach to our sexual selves. Throughout the episode, you'll hear practical advice and heartfelt stories that make the topic relatable and inspiring.
Whether you're on a recovery journey yourself or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers valuable insights into how emotional and spiritual intimacy can play a crucial role in healing. By the end, you'll have a deeper understanding of how sacred sexuality can lead to new levels of happiness, joy, and freedom.
