Sex & Love Addiction in Males & Females
Alan Yorker, LMFT
Cost: $30 general fee; $20 Military based counselors;
$15 Talbott Recovery treatment Alumni
Workshop Description:
The incidence of problem behaviors and emotions in the area of sexuality and relationships is an ever increasing phenomenon in the treatment of chemical addiction. The interactive nature of mood altering mechanisms in the addicted brain requires the modern addiction counselor to help individuals with these problems beyond alcohol and drug abuse. Sexual preoccupation and acting out behaviors are being seen more often as relapse triggers returning the recovering addict to his or her drug(s) of choice. Current estimates are that at least half of all addicted substance dependent males are also sexually addicted. Understanding this dangerous trend and being professionally empowered to address it are necessary skills for the mental health and addiction counselor in today’s world.
Learning Objectives: Once the trainee completes this workshop he/she will:
- Be able to explain the difference in male and female sexual response.
- Be able to describe The Love Map and its fundamental importance.
- Be able to discuss vandelization of The Love Map.
- Be able to utilize appropriate treatment methods for sexual addiction.
