Description
Our churches and counseling offices are being impacted by pornography, infidelity, and sex
addiction like never before. The problem is at pandemic levels, yet there is a great deficit
concerning a proven plan to deal with the devastation in the lives of men, women, and families.
Surface-level advice, strategies, accountability groups, and sermons only scratch the surface of
the depth of this problem of sexual brokenness and bondage. This workshop will help
attendees gain a deeper understanding of the impact of family of origin, neurobiology,
attachment, trauma, sin, and the high octane nature of addiction to Internet pornography. A
proven, practical, biblical, research-informed treatment plan for sex addiction will be presented
as well.
Presented by: Jim Cress, M.A.
