Sebastian Kitchen
Registered Psychotherapist, PACFA Registered Member 32932
Like substances or devices, sex and porn are addictive. Pornography is an onslaught of visual stimuli to a body that hasn't evolved to deal with that much stimuli. Sex can be used as a validating distraction to undercurrents of trauma, self-hatred and negative beliefs.
In addressing addictions, I draw upon physiology and neurobiology to understand how it happens and how it can be overcome. Acknowledging the addiction and the role it is playing in your life is often the first step in addressing what lies underneath it: for example, depression, anxiety, unresolved trauma. I then use my integrative psychotherapy approach to collaborate with you in a unique treatment approach that fits your exact needs.

Any kind of addiction can be tough but when it comes to sex there is often an added layer of shame, guilt and embarrassment, especially if (added to that) there are kinks, fantasies or fetishes that are outside the ‘ordinary’. I provide a safe and understanding space for you to freely express and investigate the complex challenges that are faced and look at the situation through an open mind and non-judgemental lens. I use a variety of methods and techniques that go beyond the mind to support you to access a deeper awareness and gain clarity in a situation you may have felt out of control and bound within.

I support clients struggling with sex or porn addiction by providing a non-judgmental space to explore patterns, triggers, and underlying emotions.
