Porn addiction help is harder to find than you think. Many counselors will falsely advertise they treat sex addiction. I have googled this in several major cities. 90% of those counselors who advertise have no certifications or extra training supporting their claim of being able to treat sex addiction, so be sure of their background when choosing a therapist. Secondly, verify that they are not masturbating or viewing pornography themselves.
If you were an alcoholic, you wouldn’t want a drunk trying to help you become sober. I have a polygraph result on my office wall proving thirty-three years of total sexual sobriety. Other counselors in the Heart to Heart Counseling Center also do polygraphs to verify their sobriety.
Type One: Sex Addiction Education
Educate yourself with books and DVDs like the Final Freedom book
Type Two: Support Groups
There are several types of these porn support groups. Make sure the group members are staying clean. Phone support groups are also available to join if you cannot find a local group in your area. Call 719.279.3708 for more information about phone groups.
Type Three: Sexual Recovery Therapists/Coaches
Therapists and Coaches can be really helpful in your journey to find out why you are a porn addict and as you walk the path to a lifetime of freedom. If you are interested in finding a therapist or coach call our office at 719.279.3708
Type Four: Intensives
For over thirty years, my team and I have been doing three-day and five-day intensives to accelerate your recovery. They are done every week of the year, and they are hosted in Colorado Springs, CO. Learn more about intensives on our Intensives page. Each intensive program is created specifically for you and it is not group education. You meet with a therapist daily, attend recovery groups, educate yourself, and complete homework. For more information about intensives, call 719-278-3708 or email heart2heart@xc.org.
