Life Healing Center Sexual Integrity Program for Men
At Life Healing Center, we believe that sexual addiction must be addressed within the context of the individual's total spiritual, emotional, psychological and physiological well-being. Since the clinical picture is often complicated by mood or anxiety disorders, trauma, grief and loss, substance dependence, or eating disorders, Sexual Integrity Program staff work hand-in-hand with the client to formulate an integrated treatment plan that addresses all the relevant needs and personal goals in a gender specific manner.
We Treat Men Struggling with:
- Online Affairs, Infidelity, Broken Relationships
- Cybersex, Porn and Compulsive Masturbation
- Drug and Alcohol Abuse fueled by Sexual Behavior
- Prostitution and Sensual Massage
- Exhibitionism and Voyeurism
- Viewing Illegal Porn
- Inability to form Relationship Intimacy
- Anonymous and Public Sex
- Prior Sexual Trauma related to Adult Sexual Acting Out
- Professional Boundary Problems
The goal of treatment is to eliminate the sexual behavior patterns that create unwanted consequences and loss. We help identify the underlying trauma and stressors that lead to sexual acting out, while providing the tools needed toward relationship health and intimacy.
Our men's gender specific, residential program utilizes the "Recovery Start Kit" developed by Dr. Patrick Carnes, Ph.D., which provides strategic focus on the critical first phase of healing. An internationally acclaimed speaker and author of numerous books, including "Out of the Shadows," "Betrayal Bond" and "A Gentle Path Through the Twelve Steps," Dr. Carnes' pioneering work in the field of sex addiction treatment is an invaluable asset and recovery tool to anyone dealing with this challenging illness.
Our Treatment Methods Include:
- Extensive Sexual Interview and Evaluation
- Identification of Stressors and Triggers
- Elimination of Problem Sex and Relationship Behaviors
- Introduction of Healthy Coping and Intimacy Skills
- Shame Reduction
- Cognitive-Behavioral Planning
- Trauma Exploration and Symptom Reduction
