Sex addiction is one of the most misunderstood topics in mental health. In this episode on selfhelp4wellness, we break down what sex addiction really is, how it develops, and—most importantly—how healing is possible.

Based on the book Sex Addiction 101 by licensed therapist Robert Weiss, this video explains sex addiction as a behavioral (process) addiction, not a moral failure. We explore how compulsive sexual behavior, pornography addiction, and love addiction often function as coping mechanisms for trauma, anxiety, depression, and emotional pain.
