This is a psycho-educational course designed for individuals in recovery for sexually compulsive behavior, which includes sex/porn addiction. If you are in recovery and you want to better understand your compulsive behavior, then this is the course for you. In this 6 week course, you’ll come learn that:
- Your addiction is a brain problem and not a heart problem. In other words, you’re not defective at your core! The brain has something called “neuroplasticity” which basically means that the human brain can change at any stage of development. This is good news! The work you are doing in recovery is often the kind of work needed to help your brain rewire. We hope you make this course part of your rewiring process.
- There are patterns to your compulsive processes. The great things about patterns is that you can change them. The brain likes to get locked into certain patterns for the sake of survival. Once you understand your patterns, you’ll be more equipped to interrupt them.
- Your sexuality is something to be embraced, not feared. It is not uncommon for someone in your shoes to have developed a sour taste in their mouths for their own sexuality. This isn’t because you’re defective. This happens because you have utilized your sexuality in ways it wasn’t intended to be used. At one point in time, this may have helped you; but, in your adult life, it has been harmful to your and/or others. This course will help you see there is light at the end of the sexual shame tunnel….and it is there for you to enjoy!
