When sexual addiction affects your relationship, it can be easy to lose hope. Issues of trust, insecurity, intimacy, and communication can be very hard to overcome, especially without professional help. As this is a spirit, soul and body issue, Christian counseling for sexual addition offers a holistic approach that you won’t find with secular groups. Through science-based addiction recovery tools, years of honed couples counseling techniques, Biblical knowledge, and the power of faith, we have seen couples find healing for mental, spiritual, and emotional issues even in situations that seem impossible. In faith, we hold hope and have had the privilege to witness God using a couple’s struggles to forge powerful and beautiful relationship.
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. – Romans 15:13
Sexual Addiction and Your Relationships
If you’ve found us, you probably know all too well the devastation of sexual addiction. What can be difficult though is understanding each other’s unique struggles and challenges in the healing process. You know how it has affected you, and you might have some understanding of how it has hurt your partner. But what you might not realize is just how connected sexual addiction is to other, often deeply rooted and hidden issues that make it very hard for sex addicts to form healthy relationships. As for the betrayed spouse, there are often issues like codependency, depression, and other issues that can make recovery for the addict and for the relationship difficult. Did you know that nearly 60% of women develop eating disorders after discovering their partner had issues with sex addiction? The complex nature of sex addiction and the harm it can cause makes recovery difficult without professional help.
Interviews with women whose husbands are sexual addicts showed that more than 80% were depressed, more than 60 percent said they had developed anorexia, bulimia or other types of eating disorders, and nearly 40 percent felt emotionally withdrawn from their husbands, others, and about 70 percent show symptoms of PTSD.
