Do I Have a Problem?

Where Can I Find Help

Is it possible that you have found yourself looking to alternate means of stimulation outside of your daily life to cope with everyday disappointments and stresses? You may not be coping as well as you used to, and when people do not find a healthy outlet for their real life difficulties; they may turn to a loved one, spiritual advisor, or counsellor to help them find their way through these difficult times.

In some situations people will turn to addictive behaviors to find temporary relief from the torment within. Addiction often grows within individuals that have poor coping skills, and activities that encourage temporary relief can take hold of their lives, addiction can happen to anyone. Though these addictive behaviors provide a small comfort to someone starting a slow spiral to losing control completely, they often put the morals and the family of those that are indulging in them at risk. Illicit drug use, alcoholism, gambling, shopping, and even sex addictions are on the list of the compulsive activities that seize those in need of professional help.

Sex addiction is very real, and is just as difficult to overcome as other related psychological disorders. Our brains produce chemicals that give us the temporary high that we may experience when we are first falling in love. It’s a sensation that makes us feel great about everything is wonderful, and all is well, but it’s a sensation that passes quickly. It is difficult for some to manage the impulse to recreate this sensation over and over again when dealing with their every day lives. The stress of knowing that you are mismanaging your sexual impulses is difficult as well. The stigma is immense for those of us that find they are turning to sexual stimuli as a coping mechanism, the fear of being labeled a pervert, or that we may be losing control of our sexual impulses is a terrible weight to bear.

A therapist can aid you on the road to recovery and start the healing process. Your relationship with a confidential professional is the key to finding a therapy that will help you find healthy coping mechanisms and overcome the bitter struggle with pornography and masturbation that you face, the gap in the natural rapport of your marriage, and the anxiety of discovery when you are squirreling away your porn movie for the next onset of depression, and relieve the guilt that you are facing in deterring from your Christian lifestyle.

When you seek treatment to manage your stresses in a healthy and productive way, and train yourself to use these tools regularly you will find yourself free from the confines of the temporary chemical high that it associated with sexual stimulation and orgasm that you have been using as a crutch and realize your life’s true potential. The internet provides all of us the ability to get in touch with the kind of help that we need to conquer these issues and get on with our lives. There is no reason that any of us should struggle alone.
