Start having the conversations if you can, start talking about this intrinsic, deep part of our identity, our sexual desires, and, you know, be as comfortable as possible, because there's no shame attached to sex, it's for many folks, it is a healthy part of being alive and it's fun.
Ever wondered what drives sexual addiction and how it impacts lives? This episode of the Bear Psychology Podcast has Dr. Anna Baranowsky chatting with experts Alex St. John and Natalie Cournoyea to break down this often misunderstood issue. With 6% of the U.S. population identifying as having a sexual addiction and 27,000 daily Google searches on the topic, it's clear that this is a significant concern that doesn't get enough attention.
Alex and Natalie, both seasoned professionals in counselling psychology, shed light on how sexual addiction is often rooted in deep-seated trauma and shame. They explain that these underlying issues can make recovery even more challenging, as past traumas tend to resurface and complicate the healing process. The conversation dives into the lack of substantial research on sexual addiction in Canada and the scarcity of experts in the field.
Despite these challenges, Alex and Natalie emphasize the importance of connection, non-judgmental support, and developing healthy coping mechanisms. They also highlight the role of early childhood experiences in shaping these addictive behaviors. One key takeaway from this episode is the call to embrace sexuality as a natural part of life and to foster open communication to reduce shame and promote healing. Dr.
Baranowsky encourages listeners to start conversations about sexual desires and to approach the topic without judgment, emphasizing that there's no shame in it. This episode offers valuable insights and practical tips for those struggling with sexual addiction and those who support them, making it a must-listen for anyone affected by this issue.
