About this listen
Many individuals are struggling to make sense of their unwanted sexual behaviors. In Treating Sexual Addiction: A Compassionate Approach to Recovery, Dr. Kevin Skinner begins by defining what sex addiction is and what it is not. Then, using the recovery capital model to explain what successful people do in recovery, the author provides suggestions and solutions on how to increase your recovery capital. Learn how to overcome common barriers to recovery such as loneliness, low self-worth, and stress. You will learn how self-compassion can help you overcome shame, a common barrier to recovery. Finally, recovery is not complete without learning how to be effective in relationships. Dr. Skinner explains how learning to love self and others can accelerate the journey to recovery.

A 9 hour commercial for 12-step recovery
There is some good, sound advice in this book. However, be forewarned, if you are one of the overwhelming percentage of people who have tried 12-step recovery and it has not worked for you, in this book youre getting more of the same. Every issue's solution is: go to meetings, get a sponsor, get in a therapy group, reach out, rigorous honesty.... over and over and over again. There's nothing new in this book. If you've gone to 12-step recovery groups for any length of time, you've heard everything in this book. As mentioned, there is plenty of no doubt good advice in this book, but if you're looking for a path other than 12-step recovery, i'd suggest to keep looking.
