Mark Giesbrecht, MA, CCC, RCC - Psychotherapist
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, CT, CCC, RCC
Sex is not inherently addictive. Just because you might like sex and sexual activity does not mean your addicted to it. Men and women who have developed a sexual addiction are caught up in repetitive activities that do not fulfill their needs and negatively impact their relationships, jobs and health. There are things you can do to change your relationship to your sexuality so that you can get the enjoyment you want from all areas of your life.

Sex/Porn Addiction
Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you are struggling with sex or pornography addiction, you may feel caught in a cycle that brings temporary relief but leaves you with guilt, secrecy, or shame. You may have tried to stop on your own, only to find the urges returning under stress, loneliness, or emotional overwhelm. Over time, these patterns can affect your relationships, integrity, and self-control.
At Selah Counselling, we approach sexual addiction with clarity, structure, and compassion. We understand that these behaviours are often linked to unmet emotional needs, trauma, attachment wounds, or nervous system dysregulation rather than simply desire. Together, we identify triggers, strengthen accountability, build distress tolerance skills, and address the underlying drivers of the behaviour. When relationships have been affected, we also support repair and rebuilding trust where appropriate. Our goal is not shame-based change, but sustainable freedom that restores integrity, connection, and steadiness over time.

He utilizes the same approaches as "rehabs" do but in an outpatient, one to one environment. I have helped many clients overcome their sex and/or porn addiction. Greg is in recovery himself (30 years) and has been challenged with the why of addiction and why we use an external means to escape from our core issues. Contact him at greg@bipolar-addiction.com.

Sex/Porn Addiction
Aria Fraser
Hypnotherapist, Certified Rapid Transformational Therapist
With addiction to sex or pornography, the person feels like they cannot quit, or if they have tried to on their own, find they keep going back to the addiction. Sex addiction is often really about connection to other people and finding/ seeking approval, while trying to find one's self-worth by sexually connecting to others. It also has roots in a person trying to feel accepted/ acceptable, based on an addict's deep-seated belief that most do not accept themselves. Sex and porn addicts have become dependent on the natural chemical high that the brain and body create, using it to move toward pleasure and move away from pain, to numb other underlying emotions, or to feel like they are enough. They must ask themselves, "What am I trying to numb or avoid or fulfill with the addiction?" Rapid Transformational Therapy can help change the core negative beliefs that a person has unconsciously formed about themselves becauseof their past experiences, and as they get identified and addressed, they can be interrupted and removed. New, healthy, empowering beliefs of being/ feeling enough, etc, are put in their place, resulting in the elimination of the underlying need for the addiction at the subconscious level. Alongside the therapy is taking a look at the lifestyle and social connections of the individual, and providing support to find new healthy habits and meaningful activities to replace the need for the dopamine/ chemical spike. It will involve trading an immediate high for less immediate gratification, learning to handle stresses and emotions that may be triggers, but in doing so will prove to be much more worthwhile and helpful. Compassionate ongoing support after the session(s) will be available.
