Sex and Porn Addiction Recovery

Treating sexual addiction is different than treating other addictions. Unlike chemical addictions, sex addiction can be especially difficult because the source of the addiction is with you, and unlike other addictions, you aren’t expected to stop the behavior entirely. Healthy sex is a good thing, but when sexual behaviors cross into things that are harmful, compulsive, or unethical, it can be a real problem. For many, knowing where that line is drawn can be difficult. We will help you build healthy habits, maintain accountability, heal wounds, and rebuild damaged relationships.

Internet Sex and Porn Addiction

The age of the Internet has brought a huge rise in sexual addictions. Easy, instant, and limitless porn access can be very tempting and is hard for many to turn away from. Since 2006, the U.S. shows an average 30% increase in internet and video chat porn every year, making up 1 in 5 mobile searches.

The need for quality sexual addiction counseling is on the rise, but the good news for you is that you’re not alone in your struggles. Because of this strong need for treatment, we now have better tools and resources than ever before for helping people beat sexual addiction.

Christian counseling for sexual addiction offers a holistic approach for healing using Bible-based and evidence-based treatments. At Seattle Christian Counseling, our primary goal is to help you find peace, hope, and healing through faith in Christ. If you’re like many, you’ve probably struggled to the point of desperation, making you feel forsaken by God. The strong feelings of shame, confusion, and worry that God doesn’t hear your call for help can be difficult to bear. We have faith that Christ Jesus will deliver on His promise for healing, and His timing is perfect in all things.

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 Seattle Christian Counseling, our approach to treating sexual addiction can vary from person to person, but for the most part, we use a set of proven tools and procedures. In combination with faith-based resources like Biblical guidance and prayer, sexual addiction counseling also includes:

• Discovering the cause of your addiction – Sex addiction is rarely about sex, but instead a way of masking deep pain that is usually rooted in things like past trauma, abuse, or anxiety. Once the cause of your addiction is discovered, we can work towards healing those wounds so you can find lasting, holistic recovery.
• Behavioral counseling – Forming healthy sexual habits, letting go of negative ideas, improving your self-image, and becoming more aware and in control of your thoughts and behaviors are key to sexual addiction recovery.
• Moving forward – The ultimate goal for sexual addiction recovery is for you to move towards a life of freedom and newness in Christ. We will help you rebuild damaged relationships, form new and healthy habits, and connect more fully with yourself and God.
