Sex Addiction 101: Assessment and Treatment of Compulsive Sexual Behaviors

Join us for our final CE event of the year!

Dr. Lara Dye will lead this workshop on the assessment and treatment of individuals engaging in compulsive sexual behaviors. She will also discuss the effects on partners of 'sex addicts' including considerations of trauma and pertinent aspects of treatment for partners. And so much more!

Following the event, participants will be able to:

• better understand the difficulty in defining 'sex addiction' and understand some of the issues that have arisen out of the attempts to define this set of behaviors.

• learn about differing presentations of 'sex addiction,' love addiction, betrayal bonds, and relationship and intimacy disorders.

• better understand if the severity of symptoms a client is presenting warrants a referral or a higher level of care.

• articulate a basic understanding of the childhood relational trauma and attachment wounds that exist at the heart of sex and love addiction and avoidance behaviors.
