Confidential Private Practise Counselling For Sex Addiction In Sydney & Online With Renowned Sex Therapist

WHAT IS SEX ADDICTION COUNSELLING

Sex addiction counselling at ASAA encompasses permanently breaking the cycle of compulsive sexual behaviour disorder (CSBD), also referred to as sex addiction or hyper-sexuality, and enabling positive, respectful, and responsible sexuality and sexual relationships. In a consulting session, your sex therapist/counsellor will explore the root cause of your addiction, provide education and discussion, coping skills and relapse prevention, self management strategies, assign home work tasks, give the support you need to succeed, and listen to you with the upmost respect. A sex therapist is a specifically trained professional counsellor, who is qualified to understand, treat, and manage your sexual behaviours and sexual concerns.

Sexual addiction is characterised by escalations of compulsive sexual thoughts and acts that are difficult, or impossible, to control. Sexual addiction, in contrast to a healthy balanced sex drive, is an unhealthy state of dependence on sexual rewards as a mechanism to cope with underlying complex emotions.

Untreated sexual addiction may lead to loss of intimate relationships, family life, and personal values, as well as poor mental health, (in the extreme loss of life), diminished productivity, unemployment, and financial loss.

Despite being fully aware of the negative consequences sexual addiction is causing, and sincere attempts to break their cycle of addiction, sex addicts find themselves unable to permanently limit, or stop, their self-destructive behaviour.

TYPES OF SEXUAL ADDICTIONS

Sexual Addiction encompasses a vast scope of symptoms and behaviours.

The most common forms of sexual addiction include pornography addiction, masturbation addiction, Internet sex addiction, multiple partner and affairs addiction, prostitution and massage parlour addiction, phone sex addiction, and an array of sexual fetish behaviours such as anonymous sex, humiliation sex, sexual power or pain exchange, as well as sexual paraphiliac behaviours including frotteurism, exhibitionism, and voyeurism.
