Breaking Free: Online Counseling Services for Men Struggling with Sexual Addiction
Sexual addiction, also known as compulsive sexual behavior, can be a deeply isolating struggle for men. Shame, secrecy, and fear of judgment often keep men from seeking the help they need. At Stonebriar Counseling Associates, we understand the complexities of sexual addiction and offer confidential, effective online therapy services designed to help men overcome this challenge and reclaim control of their lives.
Understanding Sexual Addiction
Sexual addiction isn’t simply about having a high sex drive. It’s a compulsive behavior that negatively impacts every aspect of a man’s life – relationships, career, self-esteem, and overall well-being. Here are some key signs:
- Constant preoccupation with sexual thoughts and urges
- Engaging in risky sexual behaviors, despite negative consequences
- Inability to control or limit compulsive sexual behaviors
- Strained relationships due to infidelity or secrecy
- Negative emotional consequences: shame, guilt, depression, anxiety
