Full Description:
Some people use sex to medicate their feelings and to cope with stress much in the same way as others would use alcohol or drugs. Lack of sexual self-control can manifest itself in the form of excessive use of porn sites, phone sex, and strip bars; it can lead to multiple infidelities, risky sexual behavior, bankruptcy, or the loss of a job due to their out-of-control behaviors. Rooted in shame and low self-esteem, these sexual activities afford the sex addict little pleasure and rarely result in intimacy or emotional connection. This book is addressed to anyone with a lack of sexual self-control who feels their behavior is interfering with their relationship, job, and reputation. Use this book to assess your level of sexual-self control problems. Learn relapse prevention methods and increase motivation and commitment to change. Set goals and assess your daily choices. The second section of the book delves into the cognitive restructuring necessary to produce lasting change, helping you to examine your behaviors, decision-making processes, and cognitive distortions, like the need for immediate gratification or deviant sexual fantasizing. In the third section, you ll learn to deal with the impact of your emotions on your behaviors, With your new set of self-control tools, achieve greater self-acceptance, which can increase your intimacy with your partner and promote greater balance in your life.
