Sex Addiction Workbook: Proven Strategies to Help You Regain Control of Your Life

By Tamara Penix Sbraga and William T. O'Donohue, Ph.Ds
Some people use sex to medicate their feelings and/or cope with stress much in the same way as others would use alcohol or drugs. Lack of sexual self-control can manfest in the form of excessive use of porn sites, phone sex, and strip bars. It can lead to multiple infidelities, risky behavior, bankruptcy, or the loss of a job due to their out-of-control behaviors. This book addresses readers experiencing a lack of sexual self-control where their behavior is interfering with their relationhip, job, and reputation.
The first part of the book guides readers as their level of sexual self-control problems is assessed, they learn relapse prevention methods, and increase motivation and commitment to change. Readers then set goals and assess their choices.
The second section of the book delves into the cognitive restructuring necessary to produce change, helping readers examine their behaviors, decision-making process, cognitive distortions (need for immediate gratification, deviant sexual fantasizing).
In the third section, readers deal with their the impact of their emotions on their behaviors and lead them toward self-acceptance. Finally, readers learn to increase intimacy and live a more balanced life. 205 pages. Softcover. 2004.
