Summary:
Sexual integrity seems to be under assault in today’s culture. Many people 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 go so far when the depth of this problem can be sexual brokenness and bondage. This workshop will help licensed mental health professionals and ministry leaders gain a deeper understanding of the impact of family of origin, neurobiology, attachment, trauma, and the high-octane nature of addiction to internet pornography. A proven, practical, biblical, research-informed treatment plan for sex addiction will be presented.
Learning Objectives
Participants will:
- Outline the scope of the problem of pornography, infidelity, and sexual compulsivity that is seen with Christian clients who attend church.
- Explain how family of origin, trauma, attachment, and addiction impact the brain, body, and soul of a person.
- Apply a proven clinical and biblical treatment plan for effective and successful help for Christian clients who struggle with pornography, infidelity, and sexual compulsivity.
