Breaking the Cycle

George Collins

Show Description:

Sex addicts live with a compulsion they just can’t shake—an inner voice that compels them to seek pornography, pursue sexual encounters with strangers, and do everything they can to gratify the sexual urges that won’t go away. But people with sex addictions can learn to enjoy lives of productivity and purpose and develop true intimate connections with others. Breaking the Cycle helps readers learn to identify the triggers and compulsive thoughts that keep them trapped in the cycle of addiction and offers skills for countering those thoughts instead of simply caving to them. By drawing on their deepest values and ideals, readers find the strength to separate their true selves from their obsessive thoughts. Gradually, using proven techniques, readers develop resistance to their former triggers and make sex addict behavior, and then the addictive thoughts themselves, a thing of the past.

• Up to 24 million Americans are sex addicts (The National Council on Sexual Addiction Compulsivity).

• The author is a former sex addict with over twenty years of experience counseling people with sexually compulsive behavior.
