What is Sexual Addiction?

Sexual addiction is a complex issue that often involves compulsive sexual behaviors, leading to emotional hurt for both the individual and their loved ones. It's a condition that can affect your relationships, work performance, and self-confidence.

Signs You May Have a Sexual Addiction

If you find yourself preoccupied with sexual thoughts, feeling ashamed of your sexual behavior, or hurting others emotionally due to your actions, you may be dealing with sexual addiction. Other signs include feeling out of control, seeking treatment for unwanted sexual behavior, and feeling sad or depressed after sexual activities.

The Underlying Causes

Understanding the underlying wounds, patterns, and trauma that lead to sexual addiction is crucial for effective treatment. Many people turn to compulsive behaviors as a way to cope with emotional pain, unresolved issues, or past traumas.
