Sexual Addiction
Chris Pankewich
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP), Masters of Counselling Psychology (MACP)
Addiction to sexual behaviours and compulsions can feel overwhelming, particularly when that loss of control leads to decisions that involve risking losing the things we truly care about. There is not an agreed upon clinical definition of sexual addiction, but it tends to feel compulsive, excessive and hard to stop despite being aware of the consequences. It is not necessarily the specific behaviours that define the addiction, but how those behaviours leave us feeling. Many people suffer from sexual addiction and the associated shame and guilt that tends to follow. There are some proven strategies to explore the deeper causes of these behaviours and work towards changing them. Most imporantly, a commitment to working on them leads many to learn that they are not alone on this journey.

Ivan Pityk
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Sexual addiction, like other forms of addiction, try to fulfill an unmet need, make us cope with life and stress at a detriment to our relationships and meaning in life. To help process this I try to incorporate stress and anxiety management skills, self-compassion and self-esteem building, as well as addictions counseling that emphasizes the power of choice.

Our therapists are trained to help individuals struggling with sexual addiction to explore the underlying factors contributing to their behaviour and develop healthier coping mechanisms. We use evidence-based approaches to treatment, such as cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), to help individuals develop new ways of thinking and behaving around sexual activity.
