Sex and Porn Addiction Recovery

Tacoma Christian Counseling

Understanding Sexual Addiction and Treatment

Sexual addiction requires specific forms of treatment that can be very different than those dealing with other forms of addiction. When treating other addictions such as those related to drugs and alcohol, you can create a measure of distance between yourself and the source of addiction. With sexual addiction, however, the “problem” is always with you, and you are not expected to completely stop all related behaviors. In fact, healthy sexual activity is encouraged; it’s the harmful, compulsive, and unethical sexual acts that are overcome. The goals of Christian sexual addiction counseling is to help you build healthy habits, maintain personal responsibility, heal wounds, and repair damaged relationships.

Internet Sex and Porn Addiction

The Internet has revolutionized many things, a lot of which have been very beneficial. But, with easy, instant, and virtually limitless access to damaging things like pornography, it’s no surprise that the Internet age has contributed to a huge rise in sexual addictions. Since 2006, the United States shows an average 30% annual increase in internet and video chat porn, accounting for one in five mobile searches.

The need for professional sexual addiction help is also on the rise, prompting many counseling professionals to undergo specialty training for these issues. Because of this strong need, we now have very effective tools for helping people beat sexual addiction, including specialty trained Certified Sexual Addiction Therapists (CSAT).

The Christian Approach to Sex Addiction Recovery

Christian counseling for sexual addiction offers faith-based support for healing using Biblical guidance combined with evidence-based treatments. At Tacoma Christian Counseling, our main goal is to help you find strength, peace, and healing through Jesus Christ. If you are like many who struggle with sex and porn addiction, feelings of shame and secrecy can make you feel too ashamed to turn to God and you might even feel forsaken by Him. Christ is our Redeemer and he hears the broken in spirit who call out to him for freedom from the strong bonds of sexual addiction. We have faith that Christ Jesus is faithful to his promises for healing in his own perfect time and perfect way. We are honored to help facilitate that healing by holding hope for you and your recovery.

The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead, he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. – 2 Peter 3:9

At Tacoma Christian Counseling, we approach sexual addiction treatment according to the needs of each individual. Though the tools can vary depending on your specific needs, there are fundamental tools and procedures that are proven to be very effective. In combination with faith-based resources including prayer and Bible study, sexual addiction counseling also entails:

  • Discovering the cause of your addiction – Many are surprised to learn that sex addiction is not really about sex, but instead a way of dealing with deep pain. Things like past trauma, abuse, and anxiety are often the hidden causes. Once we discover the cause for your unhealthy sexual behavior, we can work towards healing wounds so you can find real, lasting solutions.
  • Behavioral counseling – Letting go of negative ideas about self, relationships, and sex is an important part of sexual addiction recovery. We will work towards building positive self-image, controlling negative thoughts, and overcoming compulsive or risky sexual behaviors.
  • Moving forward – Moving past a life controlled by sex is the ultimate goal of sexual addiction recovery. Through Christ, we will help you rebuild damaged relationships, find ways of dealing with triggers that fuel your addiction, and lead you towards a restored relationship with God.

Sex and porn addiction can have strong effects on your relationships, mind, and body. If you found us, chances are you’re experiencing some trouble yourself. Maybe you’re tired of living in secrecy, are having problems in your relationships, or maybe you’ve gotten into legal trouble. Whatever your reason for seeking help, we are dedicated to helping you reach your goals for sexual addiction recovery.
