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.

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.

Iryna Gavrysh
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., CSAT
I work with clients who struggle with compulsive sexual behaviors, pornography addiction and love addiction. I appreciate how these behaviors have often developed as an early coping mechanism to help us deal with complexities of relationships and overwhelm of being in the word. They often begin to impact our mental health and intimate relationships in the long run. I help individuals overcome this, in order to live a more healthy and fulfilling life.
