Why Traditional Recovery Hasn't Worked--And Why Karuna Does

Most sex addiction programs focus on controlling behavior rather than healing the deeper emotional wounds that drive compulsions.Here’s how Karuna Healing compares:

Features
Karuna Healing
Traditional Sex Addiction Recovery Therapy
Root Cause Approach

Focuses on healing trauma, attachment wounds, shame resilience, and emotional regulation.

Focuses on stopping behavior through abstinence and trigger avoidance, leading to repeated relapses.

Therapeutic Model

Uses IFS, EMDR, ACT, Mindfulness, and Self-Compassion.

Relies on accountability, “sponsor” systems, and group shame cycles.

Betrayed Partner-Sensitive

Relationship Repair is a huge part of the program (Help Her Heal, Minwalla Model).

Partner’s pain is often ignored, told to just “support their husband’s recovery.”

Behavioral Interventions

Integrates 12-Step methods with practical, evidence-based CBT and ACT skills.

Often limited to cliches like "get to a meeting" or "call your sponsor".

Karuna Healing 8 Week Online Intensive Outpatient
Sex and Porn Addiction Recovery Program

Commit one hour a day for 8 weeks—and you’ll experience a transformation that changes your life.

Key Program Features:

We start with an in-depth, comprehensive assessment to identify the root causes of your addiction. Our proven methodology evaluates attachment issues, trauma history, emotional resilience, ADHD, narcissistic traits, and addiction severity. You’ll receive a 50 page detailed, personalized roadmap to guide your healing journey from the very first session, ensuring your recovery targets underlying emotional wounds rather than surface-level symptoms.

You’ll meet weekly one-on-one with an experienced CSAT therapist trained in powerful methods like IFS, EMDR, and mindfulness-based CBT. Your therapist will help you process trauma, overcome compulsions, master emotion regulation, and develop earned secure attachment. Every session is tailored specifically to your needs, ensuring consistent, lasting progress.

Each week, you’ll join a structured, supportive group led by Rob, designed to help men overcome addiction and repair their relationships. Here, you’ll experience genuine community, accountability, and validation from others on the same path. Group therapy is a safe space to openly share, confront and heal shame, and practice critical relationship repair skills. Our groups heavily utilize Carol Sheets’ “Help Her Heal” and Omar Minwalla’s “22 rooms”.

Our structured curriculum provides weekly lessons teaching practical skills, recovery strategies, and essential insights into addiction, trauma, relationships, and emotional wellness. While IFS is a powerful therapy modality, it can have a steep learning curve. Rob simplifies and clarifies IFS in these lessons, enabling you to quickly connect with and understand your internal “parts,” making your individual therapy sessions highly effective. These lessons help you truly understand the “why” behind your addiction and equip you with actionable tools for sustained recovery.

Recovery is strongest when both partners heal together. Our unique parallel recovery model guides you and your partner through synchronized lessons, meditations, and exercises designed to foster empathy, rebuild trust, and ensure you both have consistent, compassionate support for both of you. Witnessing each other’s commitment and progress accelerates healing, reconnection, and lasting intimacy.

Lasting results are worth celebrating

"I’d been through 12-step programs before, but Karuna’s approach actually made sense to me. Instead of just trying to control behaviors, they helped me understand what was driving them. For the first time, I feel like I have real tools—not just willpower."
Mark R.
"My wife found Karuna first, and honestly, I was skeptical. But after my first session, I could tell this was different. The structure, the depth, the way they actually explain what’s happening in your brain—it just clicked. I’m finally making progress."
Jason B.
"I always wanted something based on real science, not just vague motivation. Karuna gave me clear steps and a framework I could actually follow. It’s not about just ‘stopping’—it’s about changing how you think, and that’s what made the difference for me."
David S.
"I was terrified I’d never rebuild trust with my wife. Karuna’s ‘Help Her Heal’ framework made me realize it wasn’t just about apologizing—it was about understanding. Seeing her feel heard and supported has been the biggest motivation to keep going."
Chris L.
"Joining Karuna’s program was hands down the best decision I’ve made in years. The IFS work helped me see why I kept falling into the same patterns, and for the first time, I actually believe I can change."
Aaron T.
"Therapy always felt like a guilt trip before. Karuna flipped that. Instead of just making me feel bad, they helped me understand how shame was controlling me—and how to stop letting it. My wife and I are rebuilding something stronger than we had before."
Robert P.
"I came to Karuna because my therapist recommended them, and I’ve never felt more understood. This isn’t about quick fixes—it’s real, deep work that actually makes a difference."
Steven W.
"I saw ‘IFS for sex addiction’ online and found Karuna. I had no idea how deep this work would go, but I can honestly say it changed my life. No gimmicks, no empty promises—just real strategies that work."
Tom G.
"I thought my marriage was over. I thought I was beyond saving. Karuna helped me see that change wasn’t just possible—it was within my control. We’re rebuilding, one day at a time."
Ryan M.
"Therapists in the past never really looked at my childhood trauma—they just focused on stopping my porn addiction. Karuna took a different approach, helping me heal at a deeper level. That’s why I finally feel stable instead of just ‘managing’ cravings."
James K.
"I’d read about IFS and was curious, but I had no idea it would uncover so many parts of me that I had been ignoring. Rob helped me realize I wasn’t just an ‘addict’—I had wounds that needed healing. The work is hard, but the transformation is real."
Daniel W.
"The way they explained brain wiring and attachment actually made sense to me. I’m a logical guy, and I needed more than just motivation—I needed real science and strategy. Karuna delivered exactly that, and it finally clicked."
Matt B.
"After two failed rehab attempts, I found Karuna. The difference? They actually understand betrayal trauma, not just addiction. My wife feels seen, and for the first time, so do I."
Greg R.
"Rob’s no-nonsense approach was exactly what I needed. He cuts through the fluff and gets straight to what works. His background as a CSAT combined with a trauma-informed method made everything finally come together for me. The change is real, and the people around me are seeing it too."
Eric T.

From Addition to Freedom to Mastery: How I Built the Program I Wish I Had

For years, I battled my addiction through willpower, 12-step groups, and accountability—but always relapsed. Then I found IFS therapy, and it changed my life. I finally understood how to heal the deeper wounds driving my addiction: trauma, attachment issues, and shame. I experienced genuine transformation.

That experience drove me to create Karuna Healing—a structured, trauma-informed recovery approach designed specifically for men facing these same challenges. Over several years, I’ve carefully refined this program, integrating powerful individual therapy, supportive group work, and partner recovery into one comprehensive process. If you’re exhausted by temporary solutions and ready for lasting change, Karuna is built for you. 

Commit one hour a day for 8 weeks—and you’ll experience a transformation that changes your life.

Individual and Group Therapy That Heals the Root Cause

Our therapists are specially trained in sex and porn addiction recovery, deeply understanding the complexities of your struggle. With compassionate guidance from a certified expert, you’ll finally break free from addiction, shame, and harmful patterns.

IFS therapy helps you explore and heal the emotional wounds driving addictive behavior. You’ll gain powerful insight into your internal emotional landscape, build greater self-awareness, and learn practical ways to manage urges and triggers.

EMDR therapy is an evidence-based approach proven effective in healing trauma. At Karuna, we specifically use EMDR addiction protocols, targeting traumatic memories and triggers directly linked to addictive behaviors. By neutralizing these underlying emotional drivers, you’ll achieve lasting recovery and relief from compulsions.

Research shows therapist-led groups are just as effective as individual therapy for overcoming porn and sex addiction. Often, seeing your story in another person or hearing feedback from a peer hits in a way that it doesn’t from your therapist. In our groups, you’ll experience structured support, deep connection, and meaningful accountability alongside peers who genuinely understand your struggles.

About half our work is addiction recovery and about half is relationship repair. Our approach addresses the impact of narcissistic traits, betrayal trauma, and relational wounds caused by addiction. We provide specific tools to rebuild trust, empathy, and emotional intimacy with your partner, supporting the full restoration of your relationship.
