is it psb or sex addiction?
​These issues are not about how often you have sex or what kind of sex you enjoy, it is about the impact on your emotional well-being, relationships, and daily functioning. You might notice you are using sex to cope with stress or emotions, struggling to stop even when you want to, or feeling shame or distress afterward. Unlike “sex addiction,” which is not a formally recognized diagnosis, PSB focuses on your lived experience and allows space to explore the emotional, relational, and sometimes trauma-related patterns that may be contributing to these behaviors.
​
In therapy, my goal is not to label you, but to support your healing and growth. I use a trauma-informed and sex-positive approach to help you understand your behaviors, reconnect with your values, and build a life that feels more authentic to you. Whether you relate more to the idea of sex addiction or PSB, the most important thing is getting the support and help you need. Together, we will work to break unhealthy patterns and cultivate relationships (and sexuality) that align with the person you truly are and want to be.
