Today I have an amazing guest who is a true expert on all things addiction! Duane Osterlind is a therapist who has been working in the field of addiction for two decades and who hosts the podcast The Addicted Mind. We discuss:
- What is sex addiction?
- How do couples repair after betrayal trauma/PTSD?
- What is "deceptive sexuality"?
- What is the role of childhood trauma in eventual sex addiction?
- What's an "intimacy disorder"?
Duane is a great speaker with lots of great ways to understand this issue, and is compassionate and fair to both partners in this discussion. We also discuss the timeline of repair, the changes he has seen in who struggles with sex addiction over the course of his career (hint: changes in age and gender), and how dealing with shame is an integral aspect of healing from sex/porn addiction and the havoc it can wreak on relationships and your life overall.
Here are all of Duane's links!
