Sexual Addiction Therapy for Men

Why this resource is helpful:

Quoted From: https://www.craiggriffincounseling.com/men/sex-addiction

"You might be here because you"ve tried everything and you're still acting out sexually. Your wife might have told you to get help or she's leaving. You hate yourself for sexually acting out but the only thing that makes you feel better is more acting out. A job loss, STD, arrest, divorce, crippling shame and a ship wrecked relationship with God are some of the reasons men seek me out. A great misconception is to believe you are the only one with this problem. The truth is, there are many out there struggling and it takes a man of courage to move forward. I counsel men just like you, to break free from addiction and live the life they were called to live.

WHAT SEXUAL ADDICTION TREATMENT LOOKS LIKE
In our first counseling session we'll examine behaviors of sexually acting out and develop a treatment plan. From there you'll walk away with practical tools to reduce and stop sexually acting out. We will examine your typical relapse pattern including triggers, thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations and cycle of addiction. We'll identify specific points where clinical skills can be applied to combat urges and withdraw symptoms.

Following counseling sessions will be used to identify and understand the addictive pull. We'll identify trauma, needs, emotional awareness, coping skills and the relational aspect of sex addiction."
