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.

Watras Counselling and Psychotherapy Services
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MACP, BSc
About a third of my caseload at any given time is addictions work, and I see clients who have addictions to sex, alcohol, drugs, gambling, porn use, food, video games/escapism, etc. Understanding how and why people become addicted to any of these behaviours is the first step in understanding how to undo the process that got them there. When working with clients with addictions issues, I take a treatment/tool/protocol oriented approach to helping them manage their addiction permanently.

You thought that you had this under control but you found yourself beginning to act out of character - watching porn at work, reaching out to others in ways that you know that the people you care about would not approve of, you developed a ritual or start pre-planning your next sexual opportunity. This is a life that is spinning out of control. Consider all the devastation once you get caught! All the lies will be discovered. Even when you are telling the truth you will be doubted.
