Bio
I've had the privilege of working with those afflicted with sex addiction. The journey has given me a new perspective through listening to the experiences of sex addicts and their families. The extent of sex addiction goes beyond pleasure and enters the realm overbearing shame and guilt, self loathing and degradation that most addicts experience when they are perplexed by the control and power the addiction reigns over their lives. With the endless cycle of acting out, experiencing shame, and turning ever more inwardly to numb themselves from reality, the losses accumulate. Stricken with financial hardships, homelessness, legal and occupational consequences, most addicts struggle to salvage the most vital component of their lives--the spirit.
This blog is a stance against the silence of an insidious malady we all wish would just go away on its own. As we we will learn the darkest parts of our lives are healed when they are brought out into the light. The addiction no one likes to talk about will be emancipated from closed doors and minds.
I hope you and/or loved ones will feel that they are at home here, uniting with others who too have gone down the treacherous road of addiction and into the hopeful realm of recovery.
