Our Approach To Sex Addiction and Porn Addiction Treatment

Assessment: we look at: frequency and type of behaviours, impact of the behaviours on your health, relationships, work and life goals, levels of escalation of the behaviours, and your ability to manage any cravings and triggers.

Behaviour management: sex addiction and porn addiction take time and commitment to manage but initially we can agree a plan to reduce and control the most damaging aspects of your behaviours to keep you and important aspects of your life such as family and work as safe as possible. 

Develop understanding of the roots of the addiction: if sex addiction or porn addiction is your problem we will explore different aspects of your experiences past and present to develop insights into what purpose the addiction is serving.  

Personal skills and strategies:  at this stage we will help you develop ways to manage the addiction such as cognitive skills and identifying triggers and techniques for avoiding relapses into addictive behaviours. 

Making changes that last: finally we will focus on helping you to make permanent changes in areas of your life that are leading to addiction by enabling you to overcome resistance and build motivation.
