Intimacy is important and so many people struggle to have close relationships - romantic or otherwise. In this episode, Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT) Fred Ingham defines Sex Addiction and Love Addiction and shares how he works with his clients to heal these addictions.
We talk about these addictions as an “Intimacy Disorder”. In his practice, Fred uses a combination of individual and group therapy to help his clients understand and change their behavior, while also working to repair the damage it has caused. Typically, the client’s sexual issues are intertwined with underlying problems of intimacy, emotional development, trauma and meaning – areas that Fred also helps clients address so that they may experience lasting change. Fred offers a lot of hope around how people can heal these addictions and find healthy intimacy in partnership. Other experts mentioned in this episode are Gabor Mate, Pia Mellody, and Anne Wilson Schaef.
