It's Not About the Sex: Moving from Isolation to Intimacy after Sexual Addiction

By: Andrew Susskind LCSW SEP CGP

Narrated by: Ron Butler

Ending compulsive sexual behavior is just the beginning.

Drawing on personal and professional experience, psychotherapist Andrew Susskind examines issues such as shame, grief, narcissism, and codependency to demonstrate how people use out-of-control sexual behavior to cope with brokenheartedness. He offers strategies to cultivate sustainable sexual sobriety, sharing his own healing narrative, as well as those of others who’ve chosen to bear their truths. No one is ever too hurt or isolated to achieve reliable relationships and emotional intimacy. This is a guidebook for every person seeking long-term healing from sex addiction.

A Must Listen

Andrew Susskind has put together a thorough from the heart read which you must listen to if you struggle with Sexual Addiction. The audio is so well done that it compelled me to purchase the hard copy as well as his other workbook" From Now On".

Promotes Masterbation

I did not like how the author is promoting people to masturbate. It is well documented that masturbation messes with the brain chemicals especially dopamine levels and wrecks the pleasure /pain balance. This keeps people from growing up and leads to acting out with pornography and sex.
