Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Somatic Experiencing (SE) to Engage Sexual Abuse/Trauma

What the Out of Control Sexual Behavior model allows for in the Individual and Group Psychotherapy phase, and what the Sex Addiction model fails to address, is healing focused on identifying and attending to the underlying causes of compulsive sexual behavior. I have experienced how addressing the trauma rather than only attacking the related compulsive sexual behavior or related symptoms can be a more effective approach.

A Contemplative Approach to Sex Therapy

What I most appreciate in my training as a Contemplative Psychotherapist is the ability to be in relationship with a client in a way that is present, curious, non-judgmental, and compassionate, so that I can support the client in remaining with their experience, however it arises.
