Treat Sex Addiction in Los Angeles

What is a Sex addiction? Sex addiction can vary in severity and manifestation but is generally described as a problem involving uncontrollable sexual activity that can be categorized as secretive, shaming or abusive. Sex addicts typically report that after engaging in sexual behaviors, they may feel distressed and experience despair. Often, denial is a primary cause of the sexual addict ignoring or minimizing the problem. Other causes include justification and/or rationalization of the consequences and possibly blaming others. Often early childhood trauma, including emotional neglect lies at the root of the problem.

How to treat a sexual addiction. Our Sex addiction treatment includes individual work with a Los Angeles sex addiction therapist that focuses on stopping the painful and troublesome sexual problems. A comprehensive assessment period takes place in which a full history of the client is examined. This includes: etiology of the sexual problem, points of escalation, current stressors, family of origin issues, past trauma and current health concerns. A complete diagnosis is then made and together with the sex addiction therapist, clearly defined sex addiction treatment plans and recommendations are discussed. As part of this cognitive/behavioral, task-oriented approach, a sexual sobriety plan is constructed leading many to experience sexual abstinence for the first time in their lives. By the end of thirty days on this sexual addiction treatment plan, people often report a sense of well-being, relief from lying and leading a double life, a restored sense of dignity and hope for a future free of sexually compulsive behaviors. Once 30 days of sexual sobriety is attained and maintained, group therapy is recommended.
