Many people seek treatment for compulsive sexual behavior or sex addiction. As much as ten percent of men and seven percent of women suffer from distress due to their sexual behaviors. The Karuna Healing approach is to focus on the healing that is required in sex addiction recovery.

For the person struggling with their sexual behavior, distress over their acting out can cause depression, anxiety, toxic shame, and even suicidal thoughts. Many feel like they continue to act out against their values and can’t seem to stop no matter what they do. Frequently if there is a spouse or partner involved, sex addiction can cause significant relationship stress and trauma experienced by the partner.
