Are you excited to talk about your sex addiction, porn addiction, sexual dysfunction & intimacy issues? If you said "yes," you'd be the first. The problem: These issues may be running your life. And that shame deep in your bones? It's corrosive, and likely rooted in trauma (I'll be shocked if it's not). Fortunately, with the help of EMDR and other modalities, we can address these roots and move toward recovery. I also work with couples because I learned in grad school that, apparently, relationships are hard. There's infidelity, non-monogamy, mismatched libidos, the fact that your partner talks to his mom nine times a day... Prior to being a therapist, I wrote for TV & film. I know about rejection, loneliness and “failure.” When you feel like a talentless hack, perhaps you turn to porn genres you didn’t even know existed. Or start searching your rolodex for the perfect massage parlor (Why exactly do you have a rolodex?). Creativity & addiction have quite a history together. Sexual issues tend to come with a great deal of shame. Bring in the shame and we'll see what we can do to dismantle it. Self-compassion and a sense of humor are required. Okay, fine, self-compassion might be too much to ask for at this point...
