Educational Goal
The educational goal of this workshop is to increase knowledge about the relationship between attachment trauma and sex addiction and its impact and treatment.
Description
The therapeutic community is growing to understand how trauma can lead to sex addiction. But does the type of trauma change the nature of the addiction or the treatment? By focusing in on Attachment Trauma and simplifying complex narratives we can bring insight to clients around how their addiction formed, how it is specifically damaging their relationships and what successful interventions might be. These insights and interventions are not immediately obvious and can bring deep healing.
