Summary 

Summary:

Sexual compulsivity, including pornography usage and infidelity, continues to bring

devastation to individuals, couples, and families. The statistics are tragically high regarding the impact of the trauma of all types of sexual betrayal. The field of Partner Trauma continues to inform psychologists, licensed mental health professionals, and ministry leaders about the impact of discovery and disclosure of sexual infidelity, including the “PTSD” effect on partners of those involved in sexual compulsivity. In this workshop, participants will explore connections with attachment, family or origin trauma, and neurochemistry on compulsive sexual behaviors. Amid this crisis, there is significant help and hope for the recovery of individuals, couples, and families. This pre-conference workshop will provide psychologists, licensed mental health professionals, medical professionals, and ministry leaders with up-to-date statistical and proven, practical clinical information and a treatment plan of recovery for individuals, betrayed partners, and couples, with a special emphasis on Christian clients.
